Infinite: Start as a ghost

"Tsukishima's abilities can still be used; at most, it just takes a little more effort to read them."

"Oh dear, you really don't understand me at all." Tsukishima appeared out of nowhere.

Even though it was a dark space, he could suddenly appear here.

Perhaps he was here from the beginning, but Yukio shielded him from the presence of others.

"Haha, don't say that," Yincheng said. "Maybe he really might succeed, and then you can save a lot of effort."

Tsukishima chuckled helplessly, "Seriously, you're really wicked. You clearly don't need a Hollow, but you tricked him into wanting a Killian. Did you want to send him to his death?"

Yincheng said, "How could that be? Without a certain amount of pressure, the success rate is too low. I'm just doing this for his own good."

"Say what you will," Tsukishima laughed. "Everyone knows what you're thinking."

"If he fails, this Killian may become a mutated Killian dominated by his consciousness, and may evolve into an Adjuchas in the future."

Yincheng laughed and said, "What's wrong with that? Anyway, no matter what it becomes, it won't do us any harm."

At this moment, Liluka's expression suddenly hardened: "Alright, it's almost over."

Tsukishima immediately concealed himself again and hid.

Yincheng also turned its attention back to teddy bears.

The teddy bear's shaking gradually decreased and eventually stabilized.

It took about a minute for the teddy bear to stop moving completely.

Suddenly, the teddy bear opened its eyes: "Alright, let me go back to my body."

Yincheng revealed a mysterious smile: "It seems you've won this battle."

Liluka snapped her fingers, dispelling the spell.

Jiang Jiu's soul then returned to her body.

"How are you feeling?" Yincheng asked.

"I don't feel anything special." Jiang Jiu suddenly released his spiritual pressure: "It's just that my spiritual pressure feels much stronger."

Having absorbed the Hollow's spiritual pressure and combined it with his own original human spiritual pressure from the third or fourth seat, his spiritual pressure intensity now exceeds that of an ordinary vice-captain.

"What do we do next?" Jiang Jiu asked.

Yincheng smiled and said, "Next, it's about finding what you're obsessed with, finding your love."

"What if there isn't one?" Jiang Jiu asked.

“Then we’ll wait until you find it,” Yincheng said. “You’ve already taken the most crucial step; the rest is no longer our concern.”

Jiang Jiu said, "So, our deal is complete?"

Yincheng nodded and said, "You could say that. We're just waiting for news from you."

Chapter 14 The Demon Fang Reappears

"Gang Mi Dai Shi Tan," Jiang Jiu uttered these five words.

“Gang Midai Shida?” Ginjo repeated.

“Yes, it’s him,” Jiang Jiu said with a smile.

"Who is he?" Yin Cheng asked, his expression unchanged.

“Well…don’t you need to investigate it yourself?” Jiang Jiu laughed. “Our deal doesn’t include telling you anything else, it just tells you the name of the person behind it all.”

Liluka retorted angrily, "Are you kidding me? You think you can just fob us off with a name?"

"Otherwise what?" Jiang Jiu said coldly, "Do you have anything of equal value to exchange?"

Liluka was about to get angry again, but Silver City stopped her: "Alright, since the other party is unwilling to talk, we don't need to force him."

"In that case, farewell." Jiang Jiu chuckled.

"Yukio," Ginjo called out, signaling him to deactivate his ability.

"We'll have another chance to work together," Jiang Jiu said with a smile, waving to the crowd before leaving.

After leaving them, Jiang Jiu returned to Karakura Town.

Now that he has both the spiritual power of a Hollow and a human, the next step is to figure out how to complete his Fullbring technique.

"What am I attached to? What is my attachment?" he murmured, pondering this question incessantly.

In terms of love, his love was for Jiang Hongping and her family.

and then?

This affection couldn't help him.

His parents' estate still includes a house, which he can hold onto as an object of attachment.

All that's left is the daily life in the Demon Slayer world.

But Demon Slayer saved everyone except Kanae.

Jiang Jiu was actually a little annoyed that he hadn't saved Kanae; otherwise, he might have been able to complete a special or hidden mission.

Kuwashima was saved, Makijuro was saved, Kagaya was saved, all the Pillars were saved, only Kanae was missing.

If there's any regret left in the Demon Slayer world, it's her.

After thinking for a long time, he suddenly realized something.

"So that's how it is. So-called persistence is also a regret."

Suddenly, he endured the pain and pulled out his teeth one by one, using his spiritual power to string them into a necklace.

All the regrets of the original world have been made up for; what remains is the longing for Demon Slayer.

He can go back to the original world, but he can't go back to the Demon Slayer world.

"If there's anything that connects to the Demon Slayer world, it's you."

"Come forth, my Demon Fang Blade."

This is the Demon Fang Blade he used in place of the Nichirin Blade, and it's the only item that can be connected to Demon Slayer.

The moment he uttered the words "Demon Fang Blade," his tooth necklace burst forth with a dense spiritual pressure that was almost visible to the naked eye, which merged closely with his own spiritual power.

"This is my Fullbring, Demon Fang Blade."

A jet-black samurai sword formed in his hand, radiating a dark light; it was the size of a normal Nichirin Blade.

"Hmm?" The blade had been formed, but he felt that his spiritual energy was not flowing smoothly.

"Is it due to the influence of Ichigo Kurosaki's spiritual power?"

After thinking for a short while, he felt relieved: "Oh well, I'll definitely have to absorb the power of death in the future anyway, so it's good to get used to it in advance."

Looking at the sword, Jiang Jiu felt a strange sensation: "Actually, I only have some lingering attachment and some regrets about the Demon Slayer world."

"It's not that I'm particularly persistent, let alone that I'm in love."

"But it's amazing that it could actually complete Fullbring."

The Ghost Fang Blade reappears, and Jiang Jiu is captivated by it.

Suddenly, he had a premonition that he should try out the knife's function.

"Get... bigger?"

Under his mental control, the Ghost Fang Blade really grew bigger, becoming the same size as the one before.

"How is this going?"

Jiang Jiu wondered, "Could it be because of the influence of my longing?"

It's very likely that's what he thinks.

As he was pondering, someone suddenly called out to him from not far away.

"Oh..."

Jiang Jiu looked up and saw that the people who came were Kurosaki Ichigo and Rukia.

"I heard from Chad and Orihime that you helped them. Thank you."

"By the way, what are you doing here?" Kurosaki Ichigo asked.

"Shouldn't I be asking you that?" Jiang Jiu said. "Shouldn't you still be at school at this time?"

“A void has appeared,” Rukia explained. “Alright, let’s stop here. If we continue, the other spirits might be in danger.”

After saying that, the two of them nodded to Jiang Jiu and hurriedly left.

Suddenly, Jiang Jiu called out to them, "Wait a minute..."

Ichigo Kurosaki stopped: "Is there anything else?"

Jiang Jiu smiled and said, "Let's meet here after school."

Rukia asked, "What's wrong?"

Jiang Jiu said, "Your sword skills are too poor. Come and learn the way of the sword with me."

Ichigo Kurosaki: "..."

"So what if I'm not good enough? I don't want to become stronger. I just want to be able to protect the people around me."

Rukia gave Jiang Jiu a strange look, then left with Kurosaki Ichigo.

With the Ghost Fang Blade, his swordsmanship returned, and his confidence was restored.

Suddenly, Jiang Jiu had another idea.

He arrived at Urahara Store: "Kisuke Urahara, I have another deal I'd like to make with you."

"Oh dear, another strange guest has arrived," Urahara Kisuke remarked. "What kind of deal is it this time?"

Jiang Jiu smiled and asked, "Is Yoruichi Shihōin here?"

Kisuke Urahara's pupils contracted slightly: "Guest, you seem to know a lot about us."

"So-so, is she even here?" Jiang Jiu asked.
