Comprehensive Comics KanColle: Building a Dimensional Empire from Scratch.

"It's really not easy for him to do this for his family..."

Passersby gathered together, reading newspapers and chatting casually.

"He's offering a 30 yuan reward!!! If anyone can find the blue red spider lily, won't they be worry-free for the rest of their lives?!"

"Are Yan Country merchants so rich?"

Someone noticed the huge reward offered in the newspaper.

This kind of thing always easily attracts the attention of ordinary people, just like a certain lottery shop has issued a first prize of several hundred million.

30 yen. The annual income of the prime minister of the island country during the Taisho era was barely over 1 yen.

This is an amount that is enough to make you live in wealth and prosperity for the rest of your life.

"But, a disease that requires you to not be able to see the sun...it feels strange, doesn't it?"

"Like the vampires in the novels?"

The other young man looked thoughtful.

"I heard that ghosts can't see the sun... Could it be..."

The Demon Slayer Corps is not particularly well-known among the people, but some people have still heard of their deeds.

"We are from Yan Country, how can there be ghosts there? Nonsense."

His companions disagreed.

"..."

He does not mean that.

A man in a suit with a pale face who passed by them suddenly stopped.

"Give me a newspaper."

The man handed the newsstand owner a coin and looked at it eagerly.

To anyone who looked at him, he looked like an elite white-collar worker.

But the more he looked, the faster his breathing became.

"Blue Bana..."

"To treat fear of sunlight..."

Familiar, so familiar!

If he had begun to doubt the authenticity of the blue spider lily due to years of unsuccessful pursuit, this newspaper undoubtedly gave him a shot in the arm.

The red spider lily does exist, and it is very likely in the island country.

Otherwise, the people of Yan would not have crossed the ocean to come here.

And treating the fear of sunlight hits right in his heart.

If he wasn't afraid of being exposed, Wuzan would have wanted to ask that Yan Country businessman right now, "Is there a ghost in your house?"

"Do not……"

"No, calm down and observe for a while."

Wuzan calmed down, folded the newspaper in his pocket, turned and left.

……

The next day.

Late in the evening, he bought another newspaper at the newsstand.

Still the front page headlines.

Everyone loves to read about foreign merchants searching for treasure, and the newspapers also go along with it.

"According to the plant experts accompanying the Yan Country merchants, the blue red spider lily only blooms during the day... and its annual flowering period is extremely short..."

"More than 500 people have claimed to have found relevant clues, and experts are currently screening the information..."

Wuzan ignored those miscellaneous clues. He had been fooled more than once over the years.

But the newspaper put forward a point: the blue spider lily only blooms during the day!

This solved his thousand-year-old doubts!

Why have all these years of hard work yielded no results? That’s why!!!

Muzan Kibutsuji felt enlightened and a relieved smile appeared on his lips.

He even wanted to thank the Yan Country businessman. If it weren't for Lu Chen, he would still be kept in the dark.

Of course, as the ancestor of ghosts, his way of expressing gratitude is usually to turn the other party into a ghost.

As for the authenticity of this news, in Muzan's opinion, it couldn't be more true.

Because every detail was tailor-made for him by Lu Chen, perfectly hitting the Ghost King's pain points.

……

Every few days thereafter.

Newspapers were tracking (fabricating) the treasure hunt of the Yan country's wealthy businessman in real time.

The experiences become more tortuous than the last, and seem more real day by day.

In particular, a girl with light golden twintails who provided clues and received a reward of several thousand yuan pushed people's enthusiasm to the highest point.

Muzan’s biggest expectation every day is to see how far the Yan country merchant has progressed in his search for the blue red spider lily.

Lu Chen’s biggest job every day is to stay in the house and think about what content to write to fool Wuzan.

Muzan originally wanted to take action to get rid of the businessman as soon as possible, but after thinking about it, he decided to wait and see how things developed, and it would be safer to intercept him at the final stage.

A week later.

An ordinary evening.

As usual, Muzan bought a copy of Asahi Shimbun.

Just seeing the pictures on the first page made him stunned.

The front page of the news was a breaking news:

"The search team has found the exact location of the blue spider lily. They will return from Tokyo Bay in a few days after collecting the blue spider lilies."

The accompanying picture is a blooming red spider lily.

Although the color photos from the Taisho era were not very accurate, Muzan clearly saw that it was a blue Higanbana!! Not the most common red!!

Found it!!

Muzan could barely contain his excitement.

He reached out and stroked the photo a few times, as if recalling thousands of years of hard work and memories.

Then he immediately used the power of the Demon Ancestor to contact the remaining twelve Demon Moons.

"Kuroshibo, Akaza, Naruto, Hantengu...gather at Infinite Castle immediately."

"I have a mission for you."

Chapter 34 Did you disturb Muzan’s nest?

Three days later, in the evening.

In the northern part of the island, off the coast of Sasebo Port.

A black heavy cruiser floated quietly on the sea.

The black and red hull, eight 203mm main guns, and the iconic double-decker conning tower indicate her identity - the Prinz Eugen-class heavy cruiser.

Under the cover of night, no one discovered the warship.

Lu Chen stood on the bridge, looking at the coast not far away.

"Commander, will Muzan really come?"

Beside him, Prince Eugen, who had long silver hair with a tuft of red hair on his forehead, asked.

"Yes, and he will find a way to mobilize all his forces to snatch this non-existent red spider lily."

Lu Chen stared at the ground in the distance.

Precisely because he has a full understanding of Muzan, he knows the extent of this demon king's obsession with immortality.

According to the script, today is the day when the "rich businessman" is preparing to set off for home with the red spider lily.

The itinerary happened to be leaked by the newspaper, and the boarding point was located in the almost uninhabited Sasebo Port.

For Muzan, this was a perfect opportunity to act, and there was absolutely no reason to give up.

"Well, what if he didn't act according to your idea and went into hiding?"

Awesome question.

From the beginning of the whole thing, she felt that the commander was arranging and deceiving Wuzan.

However, it is hard to say whether the other party will cooperate so well.

"Then let's wipe out the shogunate first, take the resources back, build the Gundam, and blow Muzan and Japan to the ground with one shot."

Lu Chen smiled.

Of course there are contingency plans, and more than one.

However, he wanted to try the simplest method first, to see if he could trick Muzan and the Twelve Kizuki family out, and then kill them all together.

By the way, make Wuzhan laugh.

"Oh……"

The other ship girls nodded and prepared for battle.

Taiho and Kowei were also standing on the deck of Prince Eugen. The water in Sasebo Port was too shallow to accommodate the hull of an aircraft carrier.

Just fight directly in ship-mounted form.

The two men waved their hands, and several carrier-based aircraft took off into the wind and flew towards the distant shore.

"coming!"

Soon, a message came from the reconnaissance plane ahead.

"35 kilometers northwest, a cluster of targets has been spotted! They're heading towards the coast, and they're moving very fast!"

……

ground.

Swish—swish—

Countless dark shadows whose movements could not be seen were running in the forest.

They move so fast that the human eye can hardly discern their movements.

Some of them ran on all fours close to the ground like reptiles, while others jumped among the bushes like monkeys.

Only when you get closer can you see that they are all strange-looking ghosts!

There are hand ghosts with a large number of wrists wrapped around their bodies, swamp ghosts wearing ninja costumes, arrow ghosts, and countless low-level ghosts.

Driven by the ancestor of ghosts, they rushed towards the coast with a roar.

Hundred Ghosts at Night.

Almost half of the ghosts on the island are gathered here.

Creepy gurgling sounds and faint grunting sounds continued to emanate from the team.

A little further back was a young man with a pale face.

The ruler of all ghosts, Kibutsu no Muzan.

He deliberately concealed his figure and tried his best to sense the surrounding environment.

There were no humans, nor any trace of the Demon Slayer Corps.
