Demon Capital Slayer

Chapter 69 Equipment Drops
Crunch, that's the sound of a potato chip being bitten.

The owner of the eyeglasses sat on the hospital bed in the dark, unlit environment... eating snacks?

Witnessing Mikasa silently leap in through the open window, she still chose to stuff potato chips into her mouth first, resulting in her cheeks puffing out noticeably, making her look like the squirrel captain transporting nuts.

Is the other person the kind of abstract person who has surgery tomorrow and the doctor has repeatedly told them not to eat or drink, so they decide to eat some snacks to fill their stomach?
Yu Jian raised an eyebrow. As a master of infiltration who only knew theory, his experience told him that he should subdue the other party immediately and then kill him with quiet, efficient, and bloodless methods such as suffocation or neck breaking.

but! Yes!
We live in a society governed by law, and I'm not a bad person...

Even if he sneaks into a private hospital and is discovered, considering that he is still a minor, he will at most be given a lecture by the police.

Nevertheless, it was highly suspicious that a masked man would suddenly appear in a ward where there was only one woman!
Just as the person opposite was about to scream, Yu Jian, in a moment of desperation, suddenly came up with a crooked idea.

So he gently pulled down his mask.

Although the room was pitch black, the moonlight shone in through the window. The light gauze curtains swayed in the wind, and the boy's face was shrouded in the cool moonlight, as if coated with a thin halo. His green eyes were like two emeralds, shining brightly in the night.

A gentle breeze blew by, causing her pure white bangs to sway slightly, stirring the hearts of who knows whose heartstrings.

And so, the patient's almost-uttered cry of surprise turned into a fit of coughing.

Actually...

Choked...

Seeing the patient, whose face had turned pale and who was pounding his chest, Yu Jian handed him a bottle of mineral water with a speechless expression. He even thoughtfully helped him unscrew the cap, hoping that the other party would not accuse him of murder.

Without thinking too much, the man took several sips and finally managed to swallow the food.

"Thank you, are you my fan? Trespassing is not a good idea."

Although she spoke reproachfully, she showed no sign of dislike. Instead, her eyes shone as she scrutinized the sword.

As expected, Earth Online is a terrible game with absolutely no balance.

Yu Jian kept a straight face and tried his best to maintain his cold and handsome persona, while quickly thinking about what to do next.

Having charmed the discoverer with his looks, the next step should have been to use persuasive language to further seduce him, but... his social skills were a pathetic 0.5.

It's fine for everyday conversation, but if you're hoping for eloquent speech, you'd better stay home and dream about it.

Well, let's be honest. I hope the other party can understand.

Yu Jian coughed lightly.

"I'm here to visit a patient."

"Hey, why did you come in this way?" The woman on the hospital bed cautiously pulled up the sheet, but couldn't help asking out of curiosity.

"Because their family doesn't allow it," Yu Jian continued, telling the truth.

Amane Suzune certainly didn't want Yurika to get involved in this matter, which could also be interpreted as not allowing her to visit the Dean.

However, such words coming from the mouth of a mysterious, handsome man who sneaked into the hospital under the cover of night are indeed easy to misunderstand.

The woman instantly conjured up a series of legendary stories, as moving and romantic as those in a shoujo manga, and couldn't help but show a touching expression, completely unaware that the person the other party was actually visiting was a middle-aged man covered in scars.

"So that's why you sneaked in? It's just like a scene from a TV drama!" she whispered excitedly.

"Yes, understanding is key." Yu Jian nodded without offering further explanation.

"Anyway, I'm sorry to disturb your rest, I'll leave now."

"Wait a minute, um, you didn't recognize me?" the woman suddenly asked, somewhat puzzled.

"Excuse me, your Excellency?"

"Ah, it seems I still need to work harder to build up my popularity before I can become the strongest and best idol." The woman sighed.

The changing angle of the moonlight illuminated her face. She was a bit older than Yu Jian, around twenty years old. She could still be called a young girl, but she also had the charm of a mature woman, like a green apple that had just begun to turn half-red, very attractive.

Her features were quite delicate, and her cheeks were slightly round but not plump, instead giving her the look of a classic oval face.

Besides that, what impressed people the most was those big eyes that initially frightened Yujian.

He was very spirited and always radiated an almost overflowing energy.

Yu Jian scratched his head, a gesture that made the other person chuckle again. He vaguely felt that the face was familiar, but his mind didn't immediately respond.

With my current exceptional memory, this shouldn't be happening. Could it be that there's a part of my memories from this life that I haven't sorted out yet?
Remembering that the other party had just mentioned the word "fans," Yu Jian smiled apologetically.

"Sorry, I'm not the type of person who pays much attention to the entertainment industry." "Hey, are there still such old-fashioned young people these days?" The other person dragged out the words, but quickly couldn't maintain their feigned anger.

"Alright, I won't tease you anymore."

"What are you planning to do next? There are security guards outside, and those uncles look really fierce. If a handsome young man like you runs over there, he'll probably be tackled right away." The woman gave a strange look.

“That’s really bad,” Yu Jian continued, following the other person’s words.

At that moment, he noticed that the cabinet next to him was piled with all sorts of things, a complete mess.

"These are all gifts from fans. I've been having some problems with my voice lately, and no matter what I do, I can't find the cause. So I had to be hospitalized for observation for a while. As a result, the paparazzi reported it and caused quite a stir. It's really bothersome," the woman explained.

"But how come there's a knife?" Yu Jian couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.

Even if he's not a fan of celebrities, he knows this shouldn't be a gift for his idol.

"Although it's not appropriate for an idol to say this, there are all sorts of people among the fans," the woman said, shrugging.

"The name seems to be [Vajra Wisdom Fire Exorcising Tsurugi]. It is said to be an ancient artifact that can exorcise evil spirits. Someone sent it to me along with a 'gun, cannon and sword registration certificate' and said that if the hospital can't solve the problem, I can go to a shrine or temple to take a look."

The woman laughed again as she spoke. It was unclear whether she was naturally easy to laugh or simply loved to laugh. Fortunately, her laughter wasn't inappropriate or annoying; instead, it made her seem very energetic.

"May I take a look?" Yu Jian couldn't help but feel eager.

Even after becoming a swordsman, or even before that, he couldn't resist the allure of a beautiful cold weapon.

"Go ahead, boys really do prefer swordplay." The woman shook her head, hands on her hips.

"Yes, that's true from age nine to ninety." Yu Jian didn't deny it at all.

After receiving permission, Yu Jian reached out and picked up the ancient sword to examine it closely.

Judging from its shape, this is a wakizashi, with its black sheath and blue handle being quite exquisite.

He drew his sword from its sheath. The blade was about forty centimeters long, roughly the length of an adult man's forearm. It was covered with wood-grain-like textures, marks left by repeated folding and forging using ancient methods. The blade had a slight curvature and a slightly elongated tip, making it exceptionally sharp.

The blade pattern is wavy, which is also a style of ancient sword making. It is a dynamic flame pattern formed by the change in the thickness of the clay covering during the tempering process.

The black scabbard is decorated with cherry blossom patterns inlaid with gold and silver foil using the maki-e technique, and is adorned with a crescent moon motif made of brass. The hilt is covered with sharkskin wrapped in a deep blue sash, and the guard is openwork engraved with the pattern of "Fudo Myoo's flame halo".

Near the back of the blade, there is a line of inscription and an engraved Sanskrit seed swastika on each side, which echoes the bronze swastika pattern on the handle.

"Crush the mountain barrier and burn the three thousand seas of evil."

“In the path of anger, one can illuminate and destroy eighty thousand karmic eons.”

Yu Jian softly read the inscription. Judging from its appearance alone, it did indeed have a strong religious feel. Perhaps this sword really did have the power to ward off evil.

But inspiration didn't come through. Well, it might just be a fancy facade deliberately made to fool rich people.

Since the base of the knife is not visible, it is not yet certain which craftsman made it, but the price will definitely not be cheap.

Among the fans, there might be some who are suspiciously rich; they might actually be incredibly popular idols.

But for swordsmen...

First of all, it is a knife.

"You're not planning to use this to threaten security, are you? Dame yo." The woman couldn't help but ask, then made an X shape with her hands.

"This is illegal, and they all have stun guns and electric batons, so knives are definitely useless."

"Not necessarily."

As he spoke, Miken slowly raised the wakizashi, which was not particularly large.

The moonlight shone on the blade, reflecting a sliver of silver light.

"I'm actually quite good at this."

Before she could finish speaking, a sharp aura swept over her, and the woman instinctively held her breath, her eyes fixed intently on the young swordsman holding an ancient weapon under the moonlight.

After a long pause, she couldn't help but let her eyes light up and lower her voice to say:

"Kakuichi is so handsome."
