The next day, in the early morning.
The members who had been busy all night returned to the Temporal City one after another.
In the initial plaza, people came and went, bustling with activity.
Edogawa Conan rubbed his left shoulder, let out a small yawn, and complained, "I've been working non-stop for the past few days, my sleep schedule is completely messed up, and I'm feeling incredibly energetic. I feel lightheaded, like I could float away with the slightest breeze."
Kamijou Touma's mouth twitched, and he furiously retorted, "You've been staying up for days on end, how did you manage that? Are you trying to ascend to heaven? Why are you working twenty-four hours a day? Catch ghosts at night and sleep during the day!"
"Staying up for days is easy! You go to the shop and buy energy potions. One bottle wakes you up, two bottles make you energetic, and three bottles make you… crazy…"
Edogawa Conan stared with dead-fish eyes and said, "As for why I'm working twenty-four hours a day, do you think I want to? I have to go to school during the day! I don't have time to sleep!!!"
Hearing this, Kamijou Touma looked strange, "You… don't you know you can take sick leave?"
Edogawa Conan's expression froze, as if struck by lightning. His trembling hand slowly plunged into his hair, then frantically rubbed it, letting out a groundhog's shriek, "Aaaah——!!!"
Seeing this, Kamijou Touma immediately looked at Edogawa Conan with a look of sympathy.
A poor kid! Why didn't you think of something so simple?
Was this the so-called "cleverness leading to one's own downfall"?
That didn't seem quite right. "Lost in the maze of one's own making" seemed more accurate.
Kamijou Touma stroked his cheek, lost in thought.
Nearby, some of the people who had heard the conversation between Edogawa Conan and Kamijou Touma were either suppressing laughter, showing sympathy, or indifferent… Their expressions varied.
But most people were far away and hadn't heard the content of the conversation between Kamijou Touma and Edogawa Conan, only hearing a groundhog's shriek.
投以一個疑惑的視線,盯著尖叫的 Edogawa Conan 看一會兒,隨後收回視線繼續往前走.
例如某些熬夜抓鬼的會員.
「他怎麼了?」Serino Douman 問道.
Seimei 隨口說道,「估計和你一樣,忙碌一夜一無所獲,抓狂中...」
Serino Douman:「......」
「你也沒有抓到鬼嗎?我也沒有抓到鬼誒,昨晚一整夜追著一個鬼四處跑,卻根本沒有找到他的蹤影.」Itadori Yuuji 一臉苦惱道,「錢卻因此花了不少,感覺好虧啊!」
「啪!」
Fushiguro Megumi 一巴掌打得 Itadori Yuuji 腦袋往前一傾,吐槽道,「你和別人說這些幹嘛!」
"Just chatting!" Itadori Yuuji pouted, "It's not like it matters."
At this moment, the Demon Slayer Corps members passing by heard their conversation and stopped, glancing at each other.
"Excuse me," Kocho Shinobu asked with a smile, "May I ask what the name of the demon you were chasing last night was?"
"Huh?" The sudden question startled Itadori Yuuji for a moment, and then he said, "It's called Akaza."
Buying Akaza's location again and again, and being scammed so much money, Itadori Yuuji remembered it very clearly.
"Thank you," Kocho Shinobu thanked with a smile, then turned her gaze to Serino Douman and smiled at him.
Serino Douman's lips twitched slightly, and he turned his head to the side, not speaking.
Beside him, Seimei, as his friend, answered for him, "He bought a dozen pieces of information last night, but when he arrived at the destination, those demons had either been killed or moved to another place."
"..."
The place suddenly became eerily quiet. Serino Douman suddenly felt that the gazes of the people around him were a little off, and he slowly raised his folding fan to cover his handsome face.
Suppressing his look of astonishment, he expressed his gratitude to Seimei. Kocho Shinobu returned to the group, and the Demon Slayer Corps headed toward the teleportation gate.
The fourth floor, the teleportation plaza.
The teleportation plaza was located in the center of the floor, and there was nothing around it.
After identifying the direction and pinpointing the location of the Demon Slayer Corps headquarters, the group set off again.
After a while, the Demon Slayer Corps entered a Japanese-style mansion.
In a spacious and bright room, the Demon Slayer Corps sat in a circle.
In the center of the group, several cards were laid out, the fronts of which were transparent, with small figures moving inside.
"After a whole night of effort last night, we captured a total of twenty demons, one of whom is a member of the Twelve Kizuki, the Upper Rank Five," Kocho Shinobu said, pointing at the cards. "During the capture of Upper Rank Five, we happened to obtain a piece of information."
Upper Rank Five, the Pot Demon.
Reason for capture: Stayed in place due to gluttony.
Reason for revealing information: Cruel and arrogant personality, talks a lot and likes to taunt others.
In short, he talked trash during the battle, inadvertently revealing some valuable information.
"Kibutsuji Muzan sent out the Twelve Kizuki, seemingly wanting to do something."
It was just a few words inadvertently revealed, only revealing that Kibutsuji Muzan wanted to do something, but it was unknown what exactly Kibutsuji Muzan wanted to do.
The room was silent for a moment. Tsugikuni Yoriichi suddenly spoke, "Leave it to me. Starting tonight, I will pursue Kibutsuji Muzan relentlessly, giving him no time to cause trouble. You all focus on getting stronger."
If they wanted to kill Kibutsuji Muzan, the Demon Slayer Corps' current total combat strength would undoubtedly be enough to succeed.
However, the Demon Slayer Corps' goal was to capture Kibutsuji Muzan and make him atone for his actions.
"Yes." Everyone present nodded.
The brief meeting ended. Tsugikuni Yoriichi took a card and headed towards the basement.
Seeing Tamayo, Tsugikuni Yoriichi nodded slightly and said, "It's been a long time, Miss Tamayo."
"It has been a long time, Mr. Yoriichi," Tamayo replied.
After exchanging greetings, Tsugikuni Yoriichi turned and entered the prison, releasing the demons one by one and locking them into special restraints.
A special sake barrel. Instead of sake, it contained a liquid that could suppress Blood Demon Art.
The demons were locked inside the barrel, only their heads exposed. They couldn't use their Blood Demon Art, and brute force couldn't break the barrel either.
After all the demons were secured, Tamayo and Yushiro entered the cell, holding several thin tubes with needles attached to one end.
They injected the needles and drew blood…
Around noon, after being drained for five to six hours straight, the demons were all weak and listless, their eyes unfocused, as if they had been completely depleted.
Tsugikuni Yoriichi sold the demon blood to the shop and transferred all the money to Ubuyashiki Kagaya, without keeping a single penny for himself.
Ubuyashiki Kagaya divided the money equally and transferred it to the others.
The people with terminals went into the shop to buy things and think about how to get stronger.
The people without terminals set off for the labyrinth area, preparing to challenge the labyrinth BOSS, hoping to defeat the BOSS and get a terminal.
