Chapter 182 - Beginning the Ghost Hunt

The night fell, a bright moon hanging high in the night sky, which resembled a dark blue curtain.

A cool evening breeze blew, and dark clouds drifted with the wind.

In the courtyard of the Ubuyashiki estate, white cobblestones paved the ground. Under the illumination of the clear moonlight, the entire courtyard shimmered with a hazy, faint light, possessing a beautiful and dreamlike aesthetic.

However…

The three people on the veranda had no interest in appreciating the scenery, instead, they were absorbed in playing a game.

"…Knock it into the air, then just keep normal attacking, don't let it fall down, and grind down its health until it dies."

Mu Yang sat cross-legged beside the white-haired loli, instructing her on how to play the game.

Beside them, watching as the game character was being tormented, White Yaksha immediately ground its teeth in anger, "You play games without any soul!"

Hearing this, Mu Yang pouted and asked, "What's the point of playing games?"

Before White Yaksha could answer, Mu Yang continued, "It's to win, that's what games are for! I'm happy when I win, so what if I lose my soul? As long as I'm happy."

White Yaksha opened their mouth, but then hesitated, trying to find the right words, but ultimately remained silent.

Playing games is just for fun, there was no way to argue with that.

At this moment...

"Hinai, what is that?" Ubuyashiki Kagaya, who had never seen a game console before, asked curiously, looking at the screen.

Hearing this, Hinai respectfully replied, "Father, it's a game console."

"A game console?" Ubuyashiki Kagaya stared at the small machine, a look of confusion on his face.

Because they needed to pay the Demon Slayer Corps' hundreds of members, the Ubuyashiki family operated many industries, though none were involved in the gaming industry. However, they still knew a little about it.

In his memory, a game console was a metal box about the size of a tea table, completely different from the roughly palm-sized game console in front of him.

But the moment he thought about how this game console was related to Boss Mu, Ubuyashiki Kagaya's doubts vanished instantly.

"How do you play this?"

After watching for a while, Ubuyashiki Kagaya suddenly became a little interested and wanted to try it out.

If it were in the past, Ubuyashiki Kagaya would not have been interested in games.

But now that there was a way to realize the Ubuyashiki family's long-cherished wish, the heavy burden in his heart dissipated. His mindset began to change, and he started to pay attention to some things he hadn't noticed before.

Hearing Ubuyashiki Kagaya's words, Mu Yang glanced at him. "Have you finished your business?"

A soul-searching question brought Ubuyashiki Kagaya back to his senses, reminding him that he hadn't finished his business.

"Cough!" Ubuyashiki Kagaya coughed, then turned and walked into the house.

Watching Ubuyashiki Kagaya's back, Mu Yang turned to Tomioka Giyu and asked, "What unfinished business?"

Tomioka Giyu didn't say something like "It's classified, I can't tell you," but directly told Mu Yang what Ubuyashiki Kagaya was about to do.

"Send messages to the other Hashira, and convene a Hashira Meeting."

The Demon Slayer Corps usually had two ways of transmitting information. One was manual delivery, divided into Kakushi members escorting it and regular postal service. The other was to send messages via messenger crows.

But no matter which method was used, it was very slow.

It would take at least three to five days for all the Demon Slayer Corps' Hashira to arrive at Ubuyashiki's residence, which could also be called the Demon Slayer Corps headquarters.

"Too slow..."

Mu Yang muttered to himself. If it took the Demon Slayer Corps three to five days just to gather, and then another week to hold their meeting and prepare for a formal attack on Kibutsuji Muzan, by then, a certain member might have already captured Kibutsuji Muzan.

Thinking this, Mu Yang snapped his fingers.

With a flash of light, eight people appeared in the courtyard.

All eight in the courtyard were wearing Demon Slayer Corps uniforms, and seven of them were wearing clothes similar to haori.

"Where is this...?" Rengoku Kyojuro stared, observing the surroundings.

Uzui Tengen slowly narrowed his eyes, drawing his Nichirin Blade.

Tokito Muichiro stared with a dazed expression, seemingly unsure of the situation.

Kanroji Mitsuri and Iguro Obanai gripped their Nichirin Blades, taking deep breaths…

Shinazugawa Sanemi glared at Tomioka Giyu, and shouted angrily, "What's going on?! Where's Oyakata-sama?!"

Shinazugawa Sanemi could only think of Blood Demon Art to explain the sudden transfer of so many people from different locations to the same place.

And the place he was in was Oyakata-sama's residence, yet a demon had appeared there.

Shinazugawa Sanemi was barely able to control his emotions.

Himejima Gyomei didn't say anything, and immediately took out his flail, slowly swinging it.

"Huh?"

Tomioka Giyu was somewhat stunned by the sudden appearance of a group of familiar faces, and hadn't heard what Shinazugawa Sanemi had said.

"You…" Shinazugawa Sanemi bristled, taking a step forward, his right arm raised as if he wanted to hit someone.

The others' emotions were also unstable, their fingers on their hilts slowly tightening.

Kocho Shinobu asked with a dark expression, "Where is Oyakata-sama?"

"Where…" Hearing this, Tomioka Giyu took a step to the left, then turned and pointed into the house.

At this moment, Ubuyashiki Kagaya happened to walk to the door. He looked at the Hashira in the courtyard, then looked down at the letter in his hand, and immediately had a thought.

The letter… was written in vain!

"Oyakata-sama?"

Looking at the handsome youth on the veranda, the Hashira were full of question marks.

Looking at him, he resembled the Master a bit, but his face... his eyes...

"Master, your illness..." Kocho Shinobu asked.

"My illness is cured," Ubuyashiki Kagaya said with a smile, then walked towards the Hashira in the courtyard, telling them about the Dimensional Store and introducing the identities of Mu Yang and the others.

But unsurprisingly, Kocho Shinobu and the others didn't believe him.

So, to prove the truth of what he said, he took Kocho Shinobu and the others to the Dimensional City.

Tomioka Giyu blinked, "..."

Tsugikuni Yoriichi glanced at the starry night sky, went into the store to buy some food, and called everyone to have dinner.

Nothing is more important than eating.

Those playing games, no longer played games.

Those daydreaming, no longer daydreamed.

Everyone went to eat.

After more than half an hour, Mu Yang and the others finished eating, and Ubuyashiki Kagaya and the others returned to the courtyard.

Kocho Shinobu and the others had also rebuilt their worldviews, and their eyes shone with a different luster.

Most of the Demon Slayer Corps members had some tragic experiences, and the existence of the Dimensional Shop gave them a chance to make up for their regrets.

"The new plan..."

Ubuyashiki Kagaya said, "The Ghost Capture Plan, capture them alive if possible, and kill them if not."

The Hashira, knowing that the flesh of demons could be sold for money, nodded solemnly, "Understood."

"Capturing a demon alive is far more difficult than killing one, so we won't split up. Furthermore, you lack transportation, and your movement speed is too slow."

Tsugikuni Yoriichi invited, "Let's move together."

Kocho Shinobu and the others exchanged glances and nodded in agreement one after another.

"Then let's go."

Tsugikuni Yoriichi took the lead, walking outside the mansion, and the others followed closely behind.
