Infinite: Start as a ghost

Butterfly was very enthusiastic, and her smile had a touch more sincerity.

She has completely resolved her inner conflict.

"Uh……"

"You just want me to be a ghostwriter, why beat around the bush like that?" Jiang Jiu complained.

"Think what you want, but I'm short of test subjects." Butterfly O chuckled, tilting her head slightly.

"Uh……"

"I understand. I'll go catch one tonight."

The next morning, Jiang rushed back to Butterfly House, carrying a burlap sack.

"Wow, that was fast! Mr. Earth Pillar is really efficient."

The two went to the basement and found Tamayo.

The three men surrounded the unlucky fellow, their eyes flashing with an unsettling danger.

The unlucky guy trembled with fear.

"Come on, be good, open your mouth." Jiang Jiu coaxed patiently, as if she were a messenger of the devil.

Our Insect Pillar lady asked, "Eat this petal, or accept my punishment—to have your heart and lungs ripped out every day for a whole year. Which would you choose?"

The unfortunate man was so frightened that he couldn't move at all.

If Jiang Jiu is the messenger of the devil, then Butterfly O Ren is the devil himself.

Tamayo said with a smile, "Oh dear, don't scare him. What if he faints?"

Under the men's tyranny, the unfortunate man had no choice but to swallow the mysterious flower petals they offered him.

A few minutes later, the unlucky guy looked at his whole body, touching himself left and right repeatedly.

"Huh, nothing's changed." He exclaimed in surprise, "I'm not dead, haha, I'm not dead."

Butterfly O-Ninja said to Jiang Jiu, "Hmm, it seems there are no side effects."

"Blood Demon Art: Daytime Incense." Without realizing it, Tamayo used her ability.

"What do you want to do?" the unlucky fellow asked in terror.

"Come on, be good, repeat these words after me, and I'll let you go as soon as you say them," Tamayo coaxed him.

"say what?"

"Come on, repeat after me, ghost."

"ghost……"

"Butsuji..."

"Muzan..."

"Mutual...misery?"

The unlucky guy was jolted awake in a daze!

"You made me call out the lord's name?" the unlucky fellow cried.

"Ahhh, I'm going to die! My lord, please forgive me and spare me!"

A few minutes later, countless hands emerged from the unfortunate man's mouth and ears, bursting open his stomach and causing him to explode.

Jiang Jiu's hopes were dashed.

Chapter 70 Perfect Fusion

"It's over," Jiang Jiu said with extreme disappointment: "The spider lily cannot escape its curse."

Butterfly o Ren also felt deeply regretful.

Tamayo said, "Wait, don't jump to conclusions so quickly."

Jiang Jiu said, "The result is already in, what else can we do? A petal of the other shore has been wasted."

Tamayo said, "No, this ghost died a little differently."

"What's different?" Jiang Jiu asked.

Tamayo said, "Six months ago, Muzan sent a temari demon and an eye demon to hunt me down (Tamayo didn't know their names, so she called them that)."

"At that time, I also used Blood Demon Art to induce the tama-no-Oni to say Muzan's name, and her curse immediately took effect."

"But this ghost acted a few minutes later."

"I think it's necessary to try again."

Hearing this, Jiang Jiu's hope was rekindled: "Really? That's good."

Tamayo said to Shinobu, "I hope you can help me with my research."

Butterfly O chuckled and said, "Of course."

Tamayo said, "I want to see if there are any miraculous effects from mixing spider lilies with wisteria."

"I'll go get my research materials right away."

Tamayo looked at Kangju and said, "Mr. Jiju, I'll have to trouble you to capture another demon."

“Okay.” Jiang Jiu dared not delay, as this matter was crucial to whether he could break free from the curse.

Moreover, Tamayo and Shinobu Kocho specifically conducted this research for him.

Another day passed before Jiang Jiu finally found another confused ghost.

There's no way around it; these ghosts are very well hidden and hard to spot. Finding just one a day is already considered highly efficient.

The demon grabbed him, but Tamayo and Shinobu didn't stop their research.

"Lock him up here and have the Imperial Censor watch over him."

"We are not yet able to achieve a perfect fusion of wisteria and spider lilies; it will take some time."

"Okay," Jiang Jiu nodded and said.

Time flies, and more than half a month has passed in the blink of an eye.

During this time, Jiang Jiu did not do any missions, but stayed in the basement of the Butterfly House waiting for the two women to study the project.

"Does this count as being a kept man?" Jiang Jiu couldn't help but ask himself with a smile as he watched the two women working themselves to the bone for him.

While waiting, he kept trying to comprehend the Breath of the Sun.

Well, I've got a slight feel for it, but I haven't even scratched the surface.

He felt that his Earth Breathing could be taken a step further and evolved into a more advanced breathing technique.

After staying there for more than half a month, Jiang Jiu felt a bit bored, so he went out to get some fresh air, relax, and admire the wisteria trees.

Well, wisteria flowers are immune to all things, that's how willful they are. What other ghost can wander around wisteria trees like him?

"Hey, straw hat monster, you've finally shown up! I've been looking for you for so long. Let's settle this once and for all."

Jiang Jiu turned around and saw Pig Head yelling at him.

"You're fully recovered?" Jiang Jiu asked with a smile.

"Of course, don't you know who I am?" Pighead said. "I'm not only fully recovered, but I've become even stronger. Take this!"

Has it become stronger?

It seems that the main characters have mastered the entire series of O-mode.

Now, their strength should be at least at the A-level or higher.

However, he is still far from being a pillar, let alone being as far behind Jiang Jiu as he is.

Jiang Jiu's lips curled slightly, and without even drawing his Nichirin Blade, he used only one hand to press Inosuke's pig head to the ground.

"Damn it, why, why is it like this again?" Pighead shouted in frustration.

Jiang Jiu released his head: "You need to become stronger."

"Ahhh!" The pig-headed creature ran away as if in a frenzy.

A short while later, Kanao found Jiang Jiu.

"Mr. Oni, ah, Lord Earth Pillar, your sword has arrived," Kanao said.

"My knife has arrived?" Jiang Jiu asked happily.

"Yes, it arrived a week ago, along with Tanjiro's sword," Kanao said. "But you've been staying in the basement with your sister, so we didn't disturb you."

Kanao led Jiang Jiu to the living room, where they saw the knife placed on a knife rack.

"Very good, very good, I am very satisfied." Jiang Jiu was extremely happy.

The knife looked about the same size as Hawkeye's "Night" from One Piece, and Jiang Jiu was very satisfied.

Without saying a word, Jiang Jiu slung the giant sword over his back, and his demeanor changed instantly, exuding a powerful and imposing presence.

Then he took the giant sword off his back and placed it in front of him, stroking it back and forth with great affection.

Looking at the giant sword in front of him, Jiang Jiu was filled with emotion. He was glad that he chose to join the Demon Slayer Corps, otherwise he would not be able to enjoy such good treatment.

The Demon Slayer Corps is backed by a country, so you can imagine how abundant its resources are.

If he had chosen to oppose humanity, he would have neither obtained the breathing technique nor enjoyed any of the benefits.

Moreover, it's difficult to become stronger, and you have to constantly face the threat of the Demon Slayer Corps.

Just as she was thinking about these things, Butterfly O Ren suddenly rushed over to find Jiang Jiu.

"We succeeded! We've perfectly combined the effects of spider lilies and wisteria!" she exclaimed excitedly.

Jiang Jiu looked at Butterfly Ren in surprise; he had never seen her so excited.

However, upon hearing this news, Jiang Jiu herself was also extremely excited.

So they quickly followed Butterfly O-nin back to the basement.

Upon entering the basement, they saw Yushiro leading the demon out.
