Infinite: Start as a ghost

He went straight to the deepest part to avoid contact with the Demon Slayer Corps, so as not to affect the development of the plot.

Once he finds Tamayo's location, the rest of the plot really doesn't matter.

Until then, he had to endure it.

Otherwise, it would be awkward if something like what happened last time occurred.

"Mr. Ghost, Mr. Ghost, are you there?"

Not long after, a shout reached his ears.

"Huh?" Jiang Jiu was taken aback: "Kamado Tanjiro is here. Is he looking for me?"

He thought to himself, "That shouldn't be the case. Given Giyu Tomioka's personality, he wouldn't have told Tanjiro about me."

"Oh, right, maybe he told Urokodaki Sakonji, and Urokodaki Sakonji told him, wanting me to see if there's any way to save his sister."

"Hehe, silly child."

Before long, he saw a head-tied kid with some scars on his head run recklessly into his field of vision.

He thought about it and decided to go out and meet them.

I originally intended to befriend him, and now that he knows of my existence, that's for the best.

"Are you calling me?" Jiang Jiu suddenly appeared behind Kamado Tanjiro, startling him.

"Are you Mr. Oni?" Seeing that Jiang Jiu had no desire to attack and was not as crazy as other demons, Tanjiro was already quite certain that the person he was looking for was him.

“Yes,” Jiang Jiu corrected.

Tanjiro immediately knelt down: "Please, please, please tell me how to turn my sister back into a human."

Jiang Jiu said expressionlessly, "There's no way."

Tanjiro was immediately dejected: "What, how could this be? Even Mr. Oni can't do anything?"

Jiang Jiu said, "Well... don't be discouraged, it's not like there's no way out."

Tanjiro immediately perked up: "What's the plan?"

Jiang Jiu smiled and said, "There's no rush. Let's talk about it after you can survive these seven days."

Tanjiro stood up and said decisively, "I will definitely survive. I hope that Mr. Oni can tell me how to save her."

This seven-day period was thrilling but ultimately safe for Tanjiro.

As long as he doesn't interfere with the plot, he is the chosen one.

Therefore, Jiang Jiu was not worried about his safety at all, and just waited quietly.

Seven days passed in the blink of an eye for Jiang Jiu, who had been here for several years.

Time quickly passed to the seventh day.

That evening, Tanjiro arrived before Jiang Jiu as promised.

"Sir, I have passed the test as promised and am here to see you alive. I hope you will keep your word."

Jiang Jiu smiled and said, "I can think of two methods. One is to find the Ghost Doctor, Miss Tamayo."

"Miss Tamayo, the Ghost Doctor?"

"Yes, she has been studying the relationship between ghosts and humans for at least a hundred years, so perhaps she has a solution."

"I see."

"The second method is to kill Muzan Kibutsuji..."

Jiang Jiu suddenly paused halfway through his sentence.

"Damn, I almost blurted out this guy's name, that was close..."

Tanjiro asked, "Are you talking about that person named Kibutsuji Muzan, the progenitor of demons?"

"Mm." Jiang Jiu nodded.

Tanjiro said, "My master also said this to me. It seems that finding him and killing him is something I must do."

"Whether it's because of my sister or all those other people who died because of ghosts, he deserves to die."

Jiang Jiu said, "Don't rush. What I mean is it would be best to get his blood and let Zhu Shi study it."

"Kill him and I guarantee you'll be able to turn your sister back into a human. It's also possible that all the ghosts will disappear with him."

He just made up a few random things to gain Tanjiro's trust, and it seemed to work very well.

Tanjiro's eyes widened: "Thank you for your guidance, sir. I almost went the wrong way."

As he spoke, he knelt down again.

"Sir, do you know where Miss Tamayo is? If you do, please tell me. Tanjiro would be extremely grateful."

Jiang Jiu shook his head and said, "I'm sorry, I don't know her whereabouts."

He silently thought to himself, "If I knew, why would I need to know you? I just wanted you to take me with you, didn't I? How naive."

"Really?" Tanjiro asked, somewhat disappointed.

Jiang Jiu comforted her, "Don't be discouraged, I believe you can find her."

"In any case, I still want to thank you for the news, sir. I am about to leave here, and I believe we will meet again in the future."

Tanjiro kowtowed again to express his gratitude.

"Let's go, wait for me at the foot of the mountain." Jiang Jiu waved goodbye to him, then leaped away and disappeared from Tanjiro's sight.

Arriving at an open space, Jiang Jiu stared grimly at the empty space where the vines were engulfed.

There's no point in staying here anymore; it's time to leave.

"Then these ghosts are useless."

That night, the ghosts howled, and not a single corpse was left behind; they all turned to ashes.

"Ding... Congratulations, host, for completing the hidden mission: Killing one's own kind."

Hidden Quest: Clash of Kins (Kill 100 of your own kind)

"Reward: 1 skill point"

Chapter 14 Urokodaki Sakonji

The area around Tengxi Mountain is covered with wisteria trees, so no one would station a guard here.

No one knew about Jiang Jiu's departure, nor did anyone know about the extermination of the ghost.

Why kill the ghost to silence it?

Because he didn't want too many people to know he existed; who knew what those idiots would say?

They didn't dare to say anything while he was around, but who can guarantee what will happen after he's gone?

Once the Demon Slayer Corps discovers that all the demons have been killed and replaces them with new demons, those demons will no longer be his concern.

"The purity of the blood has stopped. If I want to continue to improve it, I estimate I would have to consume a demon with blood demon magic."

"What should I do? Only the Demon Slayer Corps has firsthand information. Should I join the Demon Slayer Corps?"

He wasn't confident about joining the Demon Slayer Corps, since those people wanted nothing more than to kill all the demons.

He might have been wiped out by a group of people before he even started speaking.

"Anyway, let's go with Tanjiro first."

When he arrived at the foot of the mountain, Tanjiro was indeed waiting for him as promised.

"You really were waiting for me. Aren't you afraid I won't be able to get out?" Jiang Jiu said with a smile.

Tanjiro's eyes were unwavering: "Since you say so, sir, you must have a way to get out. I believe in you."

Jiang Jiu nodded in satisfaction.

What are your plans next?

Tanjiro said, "I want to go back to Master Urokodaki first."

Jiang Jiu nodded: "Okay, I'll go with you."

Tanjiro looked at Jiang Jiu curiously: "Sir, why do you want to come with me?"

Jiang Jiu smiled and said, "Of course I believe that if I'm with you, I'll definitely be able to see Miss Tamayo. I also want to find her."

Tanjiro asked curiously, "This Miss Tamayo has been studying medicine for a hundred years, hasn't she? And she's still called a 'Miss'?"

Jiang Jiu retorted, "Who told you she was a person?"

Tanjiro was taken aback.

"Since she's called the Ghost Doctor, she must be a ghost."

"Demons?" Tanjiro asked. "If they're demons, why do we need to study the relationship between them?"

“What’s so strange about it?” Jiang Jiu said, “Think about your sister, and then look at me.”

Is it strange that another strange ghost has appeared?

Tanjiro was easily convinced: "You're right."

As he spoke, he collapsed: "I'm sorry, I haven't slept for the past seven days, I... can't hold on any longer."

"Hey, hey, hey." Jiang Jiu was speechless: "It's almost dawn, are you kidding me? I don't even know which direction you're going."

After several days, Jiang Jiu finally led the staggering Tanjiro back to Urokodaki Sakonji's residence.

Before the two even entered the house, they saw Nezuko kick open the door and walk out.

"Jiang Jiu, this real person, oh no, this real ghost is even cuter than the one in the anime! I can't stand it!" Jiang Jiu exclaimed, his fatherly love burning brightly within him.

"Nezuko!" Tanjiro shouted excitedly and ran up to her.

Nezuko saw Tanjiro and ran over to him, and the two immediately embraced.

Seeing Tanjiro's head bleeding profusely, Nezuko tenderly embraced his head.

Tanjiro was also moved to tears.
