Infinite: Start as a ghost

The woman glanced at the enormous clinic and said, "Just donate this clinic under the name of the religious order."

"Give the clinic to you?" Tamayo was stunned. This request... was far too simple.

Money was not a problem for her at all. She had been practicing medicine for hundreds of years. Although she could not be said to be very wealthy, she could still afford to buy several houses in this era.

"The clinic isn't a big problem; what I want to know is whether I can join the order," Tamayo asked.

“Of course! If you are truly willing to donate this clinic, your contribution will exceed that of 90% of the believers,” the woman said happily.

If Tamayo were to donate the clinic, her contributions to the church would increase.

"I'll think about it," Tamayo said. "If I need to, I'll join then."

"What are you still considering?" the woman said anxiously, not wanting to give up the contribution she had already made: "Opportunity knocks but once."

Zhu Shi smiled and said, "Then, come over at this time tomorrow, and I will give you a satisfactory answer."

The woman was in a dilemma. She didn't want to give up this opportunity, but if she pushed too hard, she was afraid of offending others and losing a believer.

"Okay, I hope you won't disappoint me," the woman said as she left the clinic.

After the museum closed, Tamayo hurriedly went to Kang-kyu's room and explained the situation to him.

"Should we tell Shinobu Kocho?" Tamayo asked.

"No rush," Jiang Jiu said. "Let's see how things go first. At least wait until you've figured out the details of the Blissful Sect before telling her, so she doesn't lose her composure."

“Yes, that’s what I was thinking too,” Tamayo said. “Then we’ll have to buy another place to live tomorrow.”

"Damn it, I bought the house, so why am I being moved out after less than two months, just like I'm renting? Even renting isn't this short-term!"

"If I remember correctly, I bought this clinic too, right?" Tamayo laughed. "But aren't you renting a place here with me?"

Jiang Jiu: "..."

"Going to sleep now, that hurts."

"You want to sleep?" Tamayo: "Are you a ghost? Why would you want to sleep?"

Jiang Jiu: "..."

"You're not just trying to stab me in the heart, you're trying to rip my heart out, aren't you?"

"Okay, okay, I'm just kidding." Tamayo laughed happily twice and went back to her room.

Although the ghosts do not need to sleep, they really have nothing else to do if they don't sleep.

Upon hearing Tamayo's laughter, Yushiro glared hatefully in the direction of Jiang Jiu's room.

He began painting Tamayo's portrait again, as if he wanted to keep her on the canvas forever, in his heart.

Chapter 131 The Game Between Muzan and Kagaya

The woman came again the following evening.

"How have you decided?"

“I agree, but I hope you can give me some time. Since the clinic has been donated, it will take some time to find another place to live.”

The woman said, "Why bother looking for a place to stay? Money is just an external thing. Offering it to the gods is the best way to deal with it. Wouldn't it be better to just live in the church?"

Tamayo smiled and said, "Just as you said, I joined the cult to confide my pain, not to create pain for myself."

The woman then advised, "These external things are the root of suffering; they are illusory and fleeting pleasures."

"Only God, only the Son of God, only the religious order are the sole source of our happiness. Let's donate it all."

Tamayo: "..."

This woman is severely poisoned...

"I'm sorry, my understanding is not strong enough yet. I'll make plans after I truly comprehend the doctrines of the Order."

The woman persisted, saying, "You can't show your sincerity like this."

A hint of impatience flashed across Tamayo's face, but she quickly recovered.

Why are you in such a hurry?

“If the cult can lead me out of my suffering, I will naturally dedicate everything I have to God.”

"Isn't my willingness to donate the clinic already a testament to my sincerity?"

"I haven't even joined the church yet, and you're already eager for me to donate. Aren't you the ones who lack sincerity?"

"How dare you question the gods?" the woman retorted angrily. "I was kindly advising you not to be entangled in illusory pleasures and pains, how dare you question me?"

"When did I question the gods?" Tamayo smiled. "Is it that I question the gods, or that you lack confidence in your own doctrines?"

"If your God and your teachings are so great, then it's only a matter of time before I have to make a donation, isn't it?"

This statement was made entirely from the woman's perspective, leaving her with no room for criticism.

“Hmm…that makes sense,” the woman said. “Our Blissful Retreat is indeed great; I believe you will understand once you join.”

"What do I need to do after I join?" Tamayo asked.

The woman replied, "Listen to the church's revelations and preach for the church to attract more believers."

Tamayo then asked, "If I join the order and later regret it, can I leave?"

“How is that possible?” the woman said. “Once you join the religion, you are a believer for life.”

"Don't worry, as long as you listen carefully to the teachings, you definitely won't have such thoughts."

“Okay.” Tamayo asked one last question: “When I join the church, will I have to go to church with you?”

"Hmm," the woman said, "That's why I said your possessions are useless to you, it's best to donate them."

Tamayo laughed and said, "No, I have a family. It's fine for me to live in the church, but my family needs a place to live."

The woman initially wanted to try to persuade her, but remembering Tamayo's previous attitude, she realized she couldn't change her mind and gave up.

"Okay, I'll come back in a few days."

A few days later, the members of the Hidden Team rushed to Kagaya's side.

"My lord, the situation in the battle has changed."

"What's wrong?" Yaozai asked calmly.

The hidden team member said, "The ghosts on both the east and west sides have suddenly disappeared without a trace."

"Oh?" Yaozai thought for a moment and smiled, "I see. I know his plan now."

"You may leave now and invite the pillars over."

After a while, Gyomei, Mitsuri, Shinobu Kocho, Obanai, Giyu Tomioka, and Shinazugawa came to Kagaya and knelt down.

"My lord, what are your orders for summoning us here?" Xingming asked.

Yaozai laughed and said, "According to the latest battle report, the situation in the north has been settled, the monsters in the east and west have all disappeared, while the south remains active."

"I believe they are heading north to catch us off guard."

Shinazugawa asked, "What does our lord wish us to do?"

Yaozai said, "We should take this opportunity to replace the wounded members and send the others to the north."

Yoshiyuki Tomioka disagreed: "My lord, I think this is inappropriate. If we make a wrong judgment, we will suffer a great loss."

“There’s no mistake.” Yaozai laughed, “Otherwise, the situation in the south wouldn’t have remained unchanged.”

Yi Yong said, "Isn't my lord afraid that this is a trap?"

Yaozai laughed and said, "Don't worry, I expected this."

"You don't need to send them directly to the destination. Set up two units in the northeast and northwest directions first and see how they operate."

"This is indeed an opportunity for us to replace our combat forces, while their combat forces have always remained constant."

"No matter what we do, we won't be the ones who suffer losses."

Only then did the group understand Kagaya's intention; this move had indeed put Muzan in a bind.

Unfortunately, Kagaya was unaware that Gyutaro was still alive, and this move would plunge ordinary Demon Slayer Corps members into a tragic situation.

Perhaps all of this was part of Muzan's calculations, otherwise he wouldn't have sent Gyutaro to the north again.

Without complete information, Kagaya lost half a move.

Chapter 132 Uzui Tengen's Request

Zhu Shi said goodbye to Jiang Jiu, packed her luggage, and left with the woman.

As a result, Jiang Jiu and Tanjiro really didn't know what to do.

After a while, they left, and Jiang Jiu stroked his chin, thinking for a moment.

"Actually, it's better that she left, so you can devote yourselves wholeheartedly to your cultivation."

Tamayo left most of her money to them so that they wouldn't have to worry about daily necessities for the time being.

As time went by, the three of them continued to improve.

Tanjiro has mastered the Twelfth Style of Sun Breathing perfectly, but his stamina is still lacking, and he can't keep up after just a few moves.

Zenitsu has also mastered the "Thunder Breathing, Seventh Form, Fire Thunder God".

Pighead didn't come up with any new moves; he just kept refining his existing ones, making him no less skilled than the other two members of the main group.

A few days later, Uzui Tengen came to visit.

"It's been a long time, Sound Hashira."

"Why did you change locations?" Uzui Tengen asked. "Why is the clinic closed?"

“These things are not important. What did you call me here for?” Jiang Jiu asked.

Uzui Tengen pondered for a moment: "I hope you can help my lord."

Jiang Jiu's expression changed: "What happened?"

Uzui Tengen said, "There's trouble in the north."
