Infinite: Start as a ghost

"How is the situation? Do we still need to go to Muichiro's place?" Kagaya said. "If needed, I'll write you a letter now. Muichiro's personality is a bit strange."

Jiang Jiu looked at Yao Zai gently: "No need, I have already achieved my goal."

"That's good." Yaozai said, "Is there anything else you need from me now?"

Jiang Jiu sighed: "Tell me, is there really no way to break this curse?"

“There’s nothing to worry about, everything is preordained.” Kagaya laughed. “I only hope that I can witness Muzan’s death during my generation as head of the family, and then I can rest easy.”

Jiang Jiu breathed a sigh of relief: "The blue spider lily might be able to break the curse of your Ubuyashiki family."

"Is that so? That's wonderful." Kagaya's voice remained unchanged, as if he didn't care about life or death at all.

In fact, he didn't take it to heart at all.

“If possible, I think you should ask someone in the government to help us search,” Jiang Jiu suggested.

“Sure,” Yaozai said. “I’ve considered that too, but I suddenly fell ill and couldn’t go talk to them.”

Jiang remained silent...

He had long regarded Kagaya as a close friend, and seeing him suffer from illness made him feel very bad.

Watching anime is one thing, experiencing it firsthand is another.

He had never met anyone like that before.

In his previous life, the world he lived in was already in chaos and disorder, and the rapid development of the world had caused everyone to lose their minds.

Everyone is immersed in materialism and lust.

Aside from himself, only Tanjiro possesses such purity.

However, their personal charisma is completely incomparable.

It must be admitted that Jiang Jiu was also influenced by him in some ways.

"I will be staying here for a while from now on."

"After I've consolidated my new understanding of the breathing technique, I hope to visit Tanjiro then."

"it is good……"

Chapter 47 Departure, Natagumo Mountain

A few days later, Yaozai's health improved slightly, and he was able to get out of bed and walk around.

As soon as he recovered, he immediately planned to set off to talk to the officials.

“I’ll go with you,” Jiang Jiu said.

“Alright.” Kagaya did not refuse.

Amane stayed at home to manage the household affairs, while Nichika and Hina accompanied them on their outings, taking care of Kagaya's daily life.

With four people sharing a carriage, the space inside suddenly became somewhat cramped.

Looking at Yaozai's cursed body, Jiang Jiu was also amazed.

The curse both threatened the lives of the Ubuyashiki family and protected them.

If they are not affected by external factors and their bodies are not physically harmed, they are almost immune to all diseases.

Any virus seems so weak and powerless in the face of a curse.

Therefore, apart from the onset of the curse, their clan never gets sick.

The four of them remained silent the whole way and soon arrived at a certain residence.

It's not an official building, but a private courtyard.

This kind of thing can't be done in the light of day.

They were received by members of the cabinet, which shows that their caution towards ghosts and monsters was no less than that of the Demon Slayer Corps.

For the first time, Jiang Jiu willingly became Yao Zai's bodyguard, standing guard at the door.

The conversation was left to Yaozai; he didn't participate at all, as he was powerless in this regard.

About an hour later, Kagaya and his cabinet members came out at the same time.

Judging from the way the two sides were talking, their talks were going very smoothly.

After returning, Jiang Jiu said, "It seems to have gone very smoothly."

Yaozai said, "Yes, they not only agreed to my request, but also voluntarily funded us with 30 million."

Jiang Jiu exclaimed, "What a grand gesture!"

He currently only receives a salary from the Demon Slayer Corps, which is barely enough for him to live a comfortable life.

Because... he's only the lowest-ranking Sunflower.

Thirty million seems like a lot, but it's actually not much; it's not even enough to cover a year's salary payments.

"Not only that, they also took in many orphans who lost their families due to various accidents, intending to entrust them to us for upbringing and care."

"Various unexpected events?"

"Actually, it's just families ravaged by ghosts. How could I really entrust other orphans to them? Hehe."

"Too……"

After some time, Jiang Jiu fully mastered the Earth Breathing technique, merging himself with it.

After that, he had nothing to do, so he asked Kagaya for some tasks.

What is the Misty Mountain missing persons incident?

The cannibalistic haunted house incident.

The disappearance of a town girl.

The disappearance of children in the village.

In fact, they are all the same in nature; they all involve a large number of people going missing in a certain location or time period.

If it's not a natural disaster, it's almost certainly the work of ghosts or monsters.

The most outrageous incident was the sleepwalking incident in the small town.

Some people saw several young men and women walk outside the village in the middle of the night and then disappear without a trace.

These matters posed no difficulty for Jiang Jiu; they were basically resolved on the same day.

Including travel time, it will take at most a week.

If a raven is willing to follow him, he can actually save time on the "return".

After completing the last task, Kagaya called him over.

"A large number of members have gone missing from Mount Natagumo, and the last group of ten has also lost contact. I suspect that the Twelve Demon Moons exist there."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Jiu was immediately excited; he had been waiting for this moment.

“Tanjiro happens to be nearby, I’ll have them go there to support you.”

Jiang Jiu replied calmly, "Okay, I understand."

He had an idea in his mind.

After Lower Moon Five is killed, Muzan will summon all the Lower Moons and then wipe them out, leaving only Lower Moon One alive.

Jiang Jiu cannot let this happen; he needs the blood of a Lower Moon demon to become stronger.

Thinking of this, Jiang Jiu opened the character attribute interface after a long time:

[Host: Jiang Jiu]

Race: Oni (Intermediate)

Strength: 129 (average for the average person is 10)

Physical fitness: 144 (average for the average person is 10)

Agility: 105 (average for the average person is 10)

[Mental state: 78 (average for the average person is 10)]

Blood purity: 32%

“The rate of improvement has slowed down.” Jiang Jiu shook his head. “Ever since reaching 20%, the progress of blood improvement has been incredibly slow.”

"I've already consumed two former Lower Moon level demons, and I've only improved by this little bit. It's unbelievable."

This system was so low-key that Jiang Jiu almost forgot it existed.

Suddenly, he noticed something.

"Ok?"

"Why did you gain 30 more skill points and attribute points?"

Jiang Jiu pondered carefully, and he felt there was only one possibility.

That means he didn't hear the system notification sound.

Under what circumstances might you not hear system notification sounds?

Of course, during meditation.

But there was still one thing he couldn't understand: if it was because he created the derivative breathing technique, why was there a reward of 30 points?

It should normally be 10 o'clock.

He only knew the origin of the 10 attribute points, but not the reason for the other 20 bonus points.

Actually, the 10 attribute points and skill points were because he created his own derivative breathing technique.

The other 10 points are because during his meditation, he pushed the Rock Breathing technique to perfection, causing all five basic breathing techniques to reach perfection.

The last 10 points were awarded as a reward from the system because the Earth Breathing level he created was one level higher than the five basic breathing levels.

Jiang Jiu, who missed the notification sound, will never know this.
