Reincarnation Paradise: The Void Debt Collector

The relics of the upper-rank demons have immeasurable research value for researchers like Tamayo.

Because among all the evil spirits, the concentration of the waxing moon's demon blood is the highest, and it is the closest to Muzan Kibutsuji.

In comparison, although the waning moon is also one of the Twelve Demon Moons, the concentration of demon blood in the waning moon is much inferior and cannot be compared with the waxing moon at all.

This difference is particularly evident in their remains after death.

The remains of the dead lower-rank ghosts, although darker in color than those of ordinary ghosts, are not much different overall.

However, the remains of the dead upper-rank demons are a different story.

Their surface is not only deep black, but also faintly reveals a hint of blood red.

The interweaving of blood red and black seems to be telling of the power and cruelty of the upper-rank demons in their lifetime.

"Let me help." Seeing this, Lin Yi offered to assist.

Lin Yi has a deeper understanding of the power of medicine than anyone else.

Without the help of the potion, even if Lin Yi could finally defeat Jifutaro, it would not be so easy.

However, the production of [Bloodline Inhibitor] is extremely difficult. To make this kind of potion, evil ghosts at the level of the Twelve Demon Moons must be used as raw materials. Materials from ordinary ghosts simply cannot meet the requirements.

This is also the reason why the Demon Slayer Corps rarely uses this potion. There is no other way. Ordinary evil spirits cannot use it, and if they use it during the waxing moon, they will die. Over time, everyone has regarded it as useless.

As the light in the sky gradually brightened, the hustle and bustle of Taikoo City gradually awakened.

The city in the early morning seemed to have washed away the silence of the night. The vendors began to busily set up their morning stalls. Smoke rose from the kitchen and the air was filled with the tempting aroma of various foods, stimulating people's taste buds.

The slums have also regained their vitality. Despite the hard life, the lower-class people still hold on to hope and begin to get busy preparing for the new day.

They greeted each other, talked about trivial matters in life, and their faces were filled with tenacious and optimistic smiles.

On this quiet morning, no one knew what had happened in the dilapidated mansion last night.

Lin Yi and Shinobu Kocho arrived at Tamayo's clinic with the collected ashes.

Lin Yi knocked on the door twice gently, and soon a voice came from inside.

Yushiro opened the door and had a complicated expression when he saw the two of them. He pursed his lips and seemed to want to say something, but finally turned around and shouted into the house to inform Tamayo and the others of their arrival.

Tamayo walked out of the house with a gentle smile on her face, giving people a feeling like a spring breeze.

She looked at Lin Yi and Kocho Shinobu and asked with concern, "Welcome back. How was it? Was there any danger on this trip?"

Shinobu Kocho smiled and didn't explain much.

She pulled out the wooden box of ashes from the sleeve of her kimono, handed it to Tamayo and said, "Here, these are the materials we collected. They should be able to make a lot of new medicines."

"Thank you for the trouble. I've been worried about the lack of materials recently. Your help is really a timely help." Tamayo looked at the wooden box handed over by Shinobu Kocho with gratitude. For the experimenters, the biggest worry is that there are not enough raw materials to carry out research.

Chapter 58: Pillar Meeting

The moment Tamayo took the box and opened it, the expressions on her and Yushiro's faces underwent a drastic change.

The originally calm faces were torn apart by a strong emotion, as if an invisible force passed through their blood and instantly swept through their bodies.

That sadness, like the cold wind of late autumn, was sad and piercing, penetrating the hearts of Tamayo and Yushiro and making them feel unprecedented pain.

Tamayo took a deep breath and tried to calm herself down.

"Is this, the waxing moon?" Tamayo looked at Shinobu Kocho tentatively, with a hint of anticipation and nervousness in her voice.

Shinobu Kocho nodded, confirming Tamayo's guess.

Upon hearing the news, a hint of excitement finally appeared on Tamayo's face.

The remains of the online moon will enable Tamayo to update and iterate drugs more quickly, improving their efficacy and stability.

At that time, she will have the opportunity to create a powerful medicine that can deal with Muzan Kibutsuji.

"By the way, Miss Tamayo, do you have any medicine formulas or pharmaceutical materials that I can borrow? I have been very interested in pharmaceutical knowledge recently and want to learn more about it." When Tamayo was about to turn around and leave to start a new experiment, Lin Yi suddenly stopped her.

Hearing Lin Yi's request, Zhu Shi turned back to the house and carefully took down his own experience from the shelf - a thick pharmaceutical notebook.

This notebook records Tamayo's research results and insights over the years. Every page is densely filled with text and charts, embodying her wisdom and sweat.

After handing the notes to Lin Yi, Zhu Shi couldn't wait to walk quickly into the pharmaceutical room with the new materials.

Her heart was filled with anticipation and passion for new experiments, and the experimental plans that had already been conceived in her mind were waiting for her to realize them one by one.

At the Demon Slayer Corps' headquarters, the main leaders in the conference room had already taken their seats. Everyone's eyes glanced towards the door from time to time, waiting for the return of Lin Yi and Hu Die Shinobu.

The news of the Waxing Moon being killed was like a strong whirlwind that instantly swept through the entire Demon Slayer Corps, pushing the team members' emotions and fighting spirit to a new climax.

The lower-level Demon Slayer Corps members have redoubled their efforts in training. They sweat profusely on the training ground and try their best to improve their strength.

"According to the news from the crow, Muzan Kibutsuji seems to have made a big move." Ubuyashiki Yoya's voice echoed in the conference hall, clear and powerful.

"Several upper-rank demons have reappeared in the town. It seems that Mr. Lin's actions have disturbed our Demon King."

Surprisingly, when this sentence echoed in the conference hall, the expressions on everyone's faces were not the expected shock or tension, but a hint of sneer.

They are well aware of the cunning and insidiousness of Muzan Kibutsuji. This demon king, who has always liked to hide behind the scenes and manipulate evil spirits to achieve his own goals, is now acting so high-profile. This is undoubtedly an extremely abnormal behavior.

What is revealed behind this abnormal behavior is Muzan Kibutsuji's panic and anxiety.

Perhaps Muzan Kibutsuji felt the threat from the Demon Slayer Corps and could no longer control the situation as easily as he did in the past.

In a corner of the conference hall, Wind Pillar Fushigi Fushigi was staring at Water Pillar Tomioka Giyuu, with dissatisfaction flashing in his eyes.

"Yiyong, I heard that you recently brought back a strange ghost from the territory of the waning moon. What do you think?"

There was a mixture of blame and worry in Fushigi's voice, his brows were furrowed, and he seemed to be trying hard to suppress his inner anger.

In his opinion, Giyu Tomioka's behavior was undoubtedly a serious violation of the Demon Slayer Corps rules, and was irresponsible to the entire team.

Fortunately, he was stopped in time by other members of the Demon Slayer Corps. After their persuasion and comfort, he was able to suppress his anger until today's meeting.

When faced with Fushigi Fushigi's questioning, Giyu Tomioka did not answer immediately, but took a deep breath, as if he was organizing his words.

He knew that his decision might cause some controversy and doubt, but he also firmly believed that he was doing this for the future of the Demon Slayer Corps.

"She is not an ordinary evil spirit. From my observation, Nezuko is able to control her own nature and does not kill randomly like other evil spirits."

Giyu Tomioka tried to explain his decision. He knew that this decision was a bit risky for the Demon Slayer Corps, but he also firmly believed in his own judgment.

However, the other pillars had not experienced as many things with Tanjiro as Tomioka Giyuu had, and they knew very little about the demon that was brought back, so they were reserved about Tomioka Giyuu's statement.

For a moment, the conference hall fell into silence.

Except for Giyu Tomioka, no one else expressed their opinions. Everyone was thinking and weighing the options.

At this moment, two figures appeared at the door of the conference hall—Lin Yi and Hu Die Ren.

As soon as the two walked to the door, they felt the extremely depressing atmosphere inside.

The two sides looked at each other, feeling somewhat confused.

Lin Yi looked around and found that everyone's face was filled with solemnity and worry.

After sitting down, Uzui Tengen explained in detail what was discussed in the meeting to Lin Yi and Hu Die Shinobu who had just arrived.

His words revealed his concern about Giyu Tomioka's decision and his worry about Muzan Kibutsuji's big move.

After listening to Yusui Tianyuan's explanation, Lin Yi said directly: "Bring the two of them over and we'll know. There's no point in discussing it here."

A smile appeared on Ubuyashiki Yoya's face, and he nodded to show that he agreed with Lin Yi's point of view.

In fact, Ubuyashiki Yoya is also inclined to do so in his heart. After all, with the precedent of Tamayo, he does not have the attitude of killing ghosts on sight.

If Nezuko is really as Giyu Tomioka said, then he is willing to give Nezuko a chance.

Under the gaze of everyone, the tied-up Tanjiro and the box containing Nezuko were taken outside the conference hall.

Tanjiro was still in a confused state at this time, his eyes were a little confused, as if he was trying hard to recall his previous experiences, but was unable to piece together the fragmented memories.

The Wind Pillar, Fushigi Fushigi, took the lead and walked forward, revealing his vigilance and hostility towards the ghosts with every step.

He squatted down and knocked hard on the box containing Nezuko, as if he wanted to test the reaction inside the box in this way.

There was a slight noise from inside the box, as if something was moving gently.

Nezuko did not show up immediately. She seemed to be hesitating and watching, not knowing how to deal with this unfamiliar environment and crowd.

Looking at Tanjiro who was pressed on the rubble, Lin Yi couldn't help but sigh in his heart, he really is worthy of being called the Iron Head Kid, the stone was almost crushed into pieces by Tanjiro's iron head.

"Okay, untie him. There are so many people here, there's no need to be so nervous."

The blade in the Snake Pillar's hand flashed, and the ropes binding Tanjiro broke.

After recovering, Tanjiro immediately came to the box, hugged the box tightly in his arms, and comforted Nezuko inside the box.

Chapter 59 Demon Blood Improvement

Giyu Tomioka opened a large umbrella, walked steadily to the box, and tilted the umbrella precisely to block the glaring sunlight for Nezuko.

Seeing that the preparations were complete, Tanjiro stepped forward and opened the box.

As the lid of the box slowly opened, a ghostly aura emanated from the box. The surrounding pillars reflexively put their hands on the hilts of their swords to prevent Nezuko from suddenly attacking and hurting people.

Tanjiro looked at Nezuko in the box, his eyes full of encouragement and comfort. The smile on his face was like the rising sun, warm and gentle, which dissolved the uneasiness in Nezuko's heart.

Nezuko bit the bamboo tube and carefully leaned out of the box.

Her eyes flickered with curiosity and vigilance as she looked around the unfamiliar environment.

When Nezuko saw that she was surrounded by people, an inexplicable fear surged in her heart.

These people's faces were so unfamiliar to Nezuko that she felt a little overwhelmed.

She subconsciously shrank back and hid behind Tanjiro.

Tanjiro felt Nezuko's body trembling, and he patted her head gently, as if to tell Nezuko: "Don't be afraid, I'm here."

With Tanjiro's encouragement, Nezuko gradually relaxed her tense nerves.

She knew that as long as her brother was there, she had nothing to fear.

Tanjiro cast inquiring glances at the surrounding pillars, wanting to know what they thought of Nezuko.

The sight of Nezuko snuggling closely behind Tanjiro reduced everyone's sense of vigilance a lot.

They began to re-examine Nezuko in front of them. Although her body did have some characteristics of a ghost, Nezuko's heart and emotions seemed more like humans.

Fear, uneasiness, and the need for protection and care from others are all emotions that only humans can express. At least in everyone's impression, this is the first time they have seen a demon as rational as Nezuko.

"Um... everyone, please believe me." Tanjiro took a deep breath, as if he wanted to concentrate all his courage and determination in this sentence.

His voice echoed in the air, clear and powerful, "Nezuko really would never hurt humans. She has always tried to restrain her nature."

As he spoke, Tanjiro stood up, slowly and solemnly, and bowed deeply to everyone.

His head was lowered, as if expressing his deepest plea to everyone.

Tanjiro does not want his sister to be misunderstood as a demon, and does not want Nezuko to be surrounded by fear and disgust in the eyes of others.

Therefore, he chose to stand up and use all his courage and strength to protect her and to fight for a chance for Nezuko to be accepted.

At this moment, Lin Yi's voice rang out, breaking the brief silence.

"Young man, please move aside for a moment. I'll check your sister's health."

Tanjiro was slightly stunned and looked at Lin Yi with some surprise.

He looked down at Nezuko in his arms and found that she did not show any disgust.

On the contrary, there seemed to be a hint of curiosity and anticipation in Nezuko's eyes.

Tanjiro gently made room for Lin Yi to observe Nezuko from a closer distance.

Lin Yi took out a candy from his pocket and handed it to Nezuko. The candy’s packaging was colorful and exuded an enticing sweet fragrance.

Nezuko's eyes lit up the moment she saw the candy. It was a child's instinctive love for sweets, and her eyes were sparkling with anticipation and surprise.

Tanjiro's family does not have a wealthy life on weekdays, and luxury items like candy are not common.

Therefore, Nezuko has not tasted this sweetness for a long, long time.

"Thank you, brother." Nezuko's voice was soft and pleasant. She thanked Lin Yi timidly, with shyness and gratitude flashing in her eyes.
