Chapter 40: The Imperial Capital where evil spirits are infested

The Nichiren Knife, which has evolved by devouring enough energy, has greatly increased all its attributes.

In particular, the three features have exact property descriptions compared to the original vague descriptions.

Among them, after the armor piercing lv.2 bonus of 1 point, it is now as high as 16 points, which makes Senjuro feel his hairs stand on end just by looking at the blade.

It is no exaggeration to say that the current Nichiren knife can be said to be as sharp as clay.

On the other hand, the ability to inhibit the regeneration of evil ghosts granted by Sun Slashing Lv.2 is supplemented by the bonus of the trait [Ghost Hunter], and it is believed that even a ghost will feel suspicious of the ghost life with a knife.

"[Ghost Hunter] (cannot be upgraded): The damage you deal to the ghost will gradually increase and will be difficult to heal."

1+1, double the happiness!

However, the ghost-loving characteristic of lv.2 has changed from only 100 points to 500 points, and it is estimated that the next evolution will be a long time later.

Gently brushing the crimson blade with his hand, Qianjulang nodded with satisfaction: "From today onwards, I will call you [Kill Ghosts]!" ”

As if feeling his will, the [Demon Slayer] let out a faint hum, and the flame-like red lines on the knife became more and more dazzling.

……

Imperial capital, Chiyoda Ward, train station.

"Woo-"

In the billowing smoke, the train moved away, leaving behind many passengers on the platform.

Carrying a Nichiwa knife wrapped in strips of white cloth, Senjuro and Butterfly followed the crowd and slowly walked out of the platform.

Looking up, high-rise buildings made of steel and concrete rise one after another, and passers-by in suits and leather shoes come and go under the flashing neon billboards......

Unlike the countryside where the Purgatory Mansion is located, the Imperial Capital is a large city full of traces of industrial civilization.

All this in front of him gave Chijuro a familiar strangeness.

It's like going back to the earth of the 21st century......

Shaking his head, Chijuro didn't think much about it, and said to the butterfly Shinobu beside him: "Sister Shinobi, let's go find a place to rest first, and then start acting tonight." ”

Hearing Chijuro's words, Butterfly couldn't help but smile and said:

"Senjuro-kun, in addition to us, there are 3 other ghost slayer members involved in this operation, and the estimated arrival time is tomorrow evening, why don't we wait for them to act together?"

"I know, but no." Senjuro shook his head, "It's enough to have the two of us. ”

"Hmm......" nodded, and Butterfly Shinobu did not object: "It's okay." ”

The main personnel of this imperial capital mission are her and Qianjulang, and the other 3 team members, who are just doing logistical support work, and there is not much difference between them or not.

found an ordinary hotel, and after the two checked in, they went back to their rooms to rest.

The time, little by little, passed quickly, and the hour hand on the clock pointed to 7 o'clock.

And the last trace of the sun's afterglow is also completely disappeared at this moment.

It's dark.

Chijurou and Butterfly Shinobi, who had regrouped at the entrance of the inn, began patrolling their respective areas according to the battle plan they had made before they came.

The large-scale cannibalism in the imperial capital was mainly concentrated in the densely populated "three districts of the center of the city", namely Chiyoda Ward, Chuo Ward, and Minato Ward.

Due to the wide scope of the incident, the two men decided to carry out a sweep in one district at a time, and divided each district into two areas, one in the south and one in the north, with the two conducting patrols separately to improve efficiency.

In the unlikely event that you encounter the Twelve Ghost Moons and can't solve them alone, you will immediately launch a flare.

The other person who sees the flare will rush to it, and as long as he holds it for a moment, he can form an encirclement and strangle the twelve ghost moons.

The night breeze floats, bringing a hint of coolness.

Along the dark alleys of the street, Senjuro walked briskly.

The reason for this choice is that evil spirits do not usually appear in crowded places, and usually attack passers-by in dark alleys.

The main reason for this is that they fear causing a massive panic, which will cause their whereabouts to be revealed quickly.

After that, he will be killed by the ghost slayer who rushed to hear the news.

Unlike the Twelve Ghost Moons, ordinary evil ghosts are still a little powerless when faced with the joint ambush of the members of the Ghost Slayer Team.

As a result, the demons will choose to eat by sneak hunting to prolong the time they can be spotted.

And the longer the time, the more people you eat, the stronger your strength will become, and eventually evolve into the twelve ghost months, not afraid of the siege of the ghost killers.

"Click-click-"

In the deep alleyway, strange sounds followed the wind to Senjuro's ears.

He paused and listened.

"Click, click......"

Accompanied by the sound, a faint smell of rust came from afar.

"Huh!" The corners of Chijuro's mouth hooked, and a cold color flashed in his eyes.

The evil ghosts in this imperial capital were also too raging, and he had only been patrolling for less than ten minutes before he discovered the clues.

Following the direction from which the smell came, Senjuro hurried away.

Soon, at the end of the darkness, a figure appeared.

It was crouching, holding something in its hand, and was munching on it.

Unaware of the arrival of an uninvited guest.

"Qiangβ€”"

Without a moment's pause, the crimson blade on Senjuro's waist was instantly unsheathed, and the cold light reflected the burning eyes.

"Breath of Fire, One Form, Shiranui!"

The gnawing demon didn't even have time to lift its head before a thread of fire slashed through its neck.

"Boom!"

With the blade sheathed, Senjurou jumped onto the wall at the end of the alley and continued to patrol the next alleyway.

Behind him, the demon froze in place with its hands hanging limply, and then its head slid down.

"Bang!"

The headless ghost corpse gradually turned into black ashes and dissipated.

"Trait [Ghost Hunter] activates ......"

"Soul energy absorption...... Gain a slight boost in strength! ”

……

In one night, Chijurou went to the streets and alleys of the southern area of Chiyoda Ward, hunting a total of 11 evil spirits.

This is also a very rare thing in the records of the ghost killing team.

Under normal circumstances, it is impossible for a demon to have such a terrifying density in an area.

It's dark.

Chijurou and the slightly tired butterfly meet at the door of the inn.

As soon as they met, Butterfly Shinobu asked, "Senjuro-kun, how is the situation over there?" ”

Shaking his head, Qianjuro's face was not very good-looking: "Eleven." ”

Hearing this, a look of worry flashed in Butterfly Shinobi's eyes: "I also have 6 here." ”

Before Senjuro could speak, she continued: "Something happened! There are probably more than one of the twelve ghost moons gathered in the imperial capital area. ”

"According to this density, the number of demons gathered in Chiyoda, Chuo, and Minato Wards is likely to be more than 100!"

"An evil ghost of this scale, unless it is an upper string ghost, otherwise, it is impossible for a single lower string ghost to be able to command."
