He's in Marvel, working behind the scenes.

But the lord firmly believed this. On the train before the time travel, his sister... despite being a ghost, risked injury to protect the passengers.

Therefore, I firmly believe that exceptional ghosts do exist in this world.

As he spoke, he turned to look at Coulson, who was leaning on his body with the help of two special forces soldiers, and bowed sincerely at a ninety-degree angle. "I'm very sorry, I misunderstood you at first."

"No, it's okay!"

Coulson still has a piece of his mouth missing, so he speaks with a slight lisp.

But you could still tell he was somewhat surprised.

Perhaps they didn't expect someone with such great power to be so humble... Although apologizing to someone you've misunderstood is basic etiquette, in this restless era, people have become more self-centered.

Those who possess power are even more arrogant, believing that everything they do is right.

"Thank you for your understanding!"

Kyojuro bowed to Coulson again, then stood up and looked into the darkness in the distance—a woman in a deep purple kimono, with a gentle face and elegant manners, and a handsome young man were slowly walking towards them.

With just one glance, Kyojuro sensed the different aura emanating from them compared to ordinary demons, and immediately laughed heartily, "You must be Ms. Tamayo and Mr. Yushiro that Mr. Tony mentioned! I never expected there to be such beings among demons as you."

“I’m the one who’s really surprised!” Tamayo replied in a gentle voice. “That Tanjiro Kamado, whom I just parted ways with not long ago, has become the adopted son of this generation’s Flame Pillar, and we’ve even met in another world.”

In the Demon Slayer Corps, the term "stepson" does not refer to an adopted son, but rather to the successor who inherits one's position as a "Pillar".

To join the Demon Slayer Corps, one must first undergo training from a trainer to learn breathing techniques, then pass an examination to join the team, and then progress through ten levels: A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H, I, and G.

Ordinary members can only become Pillars by continuously completing missions and defeating a certain number of demons or a single Lower Moon demon.

However, there are also exceptionally talented individuals who experience a leap in skill growth as soon as they join the team.

Such people are usually adopted as heirs by the current leader and groomed to be the next successor.

"I get along very well with the boy from Kamado, and he's making rapid progress. He'll definitely be the one supporting the Demon Slayer Corps in their fight against demons after we leave!"

At this point, Kyojuro seemed to remember something and asked, "Does Miss Tamayo know the boy Kamado?"

"Yes, he came to me in order to find a way to turn his sister back into a human."

"Then there won't be any problems!"

Kyojuro said confidently, "Although he is still immature, his intuition is very sharp. If he thinks you are okay, then there will definitely be no problem."

"Thank you very much for Mr. Kyojuro's trust!"

Tamayo spoke calmly, then changed the subject, asking, "Speaking of which, did Mr. Kyojuro come into this world alone?"

As soon as he said that, everyone looked over.

If a single Flame Pillar is this powerful, then dealing with demons wouldn't be difficult at all if he had other companions!

But the answer was destined to disappoint them.

"do not know!"

Kyojuro confessed, "I chased a demon into an alley, and when I came out, I found myself in a bustling metropolis I had never seen before. At first, I thought it was an illusion created by the demon's Blood Demon Art, but later I realized that I might have been transported to another dimension."

"Really? You're the only one here!"

Upon hearing Kyojuro's answer, even the usually composed Tamayo couldn't help but feel disappointed.

"Even if I am all alone, I will fulfill my duty as a Pillar and destroy all evil spirits in this world!"

Kyojuro spoke with great conviction.

Her unpretentious and cheerful self-confidence inspires confidence in others for no apparent reason.

"Don't treat eliminating ghosts as if it were your personal responsibility."

Tony interjected, "Although we don't know what happened in your original world, now that they've come to this world and caused serious harm, we will not stand idly by."

"Yes, that's exactly right!"

Kyojuro's eyes were firm, and he said righteously, "I am willing to burn myself out to eliminate evil spirits from the world. Even if I cannot do it alone, I will pass on the method of slaying demons so that people will have the means to fight against them."

Upon hearing this, Coulson's eyes lit up.

He took the last cheek patch from his colleague, stuck it back on his face, and walked over with a smile. "Let me introduce myself. My name is Phil Coulson, and I belong to the Earth Security Alliance's peace organization, 'S.H.I.E.L.D.'."

"The official organization of this world?"

Kyojuro smiled at Coulson and asked, "What is it?"

"Our S.H.I.E.L.D. is an organization established to deal with all kinds of supernatural events on Earth. We need to eliminate any supernatural phenomena in the world that pose a threat to humanity, and the ghost is one of our missions."

As he spoke, Coulson glanced around, pointed to the special forces soldiers collecting the bodies, and continued, "But as you can see, they are all ordinary people, and they don't have weapons that can fundamentally change their fighting ability. When facing supernatural beings like demons, they often can only compensate with their lives. Mr. Kyojuro intends to pass on the methods for dealing with demons to this world, so why not?"

"no!"

Before Coulson could finish speaking, Kyojuro refused righteously.

He looked at the stunned crowd and replied, "I believe that the S.H.I.E.L.D. soldiers participate with the awareness of dying for humanity. But are those in the upper echelons of power the same?"

You are government agencies, instruments of human power structures.

If any of your high-ranking members succumb to temptation and fall into corruption, then this organization that wields supernatural powers will become a threat to humanity.

"Isn't this precisely why it should be under the control of public authorities?"

Coulson, somewhat puzzled, said, "If even those who wield the highest power and wealth cannot resist temptation and fall into depravity, wouldn't ordinary people be even more prone to corruption?"

"What can withstand temptation is willpower, not how much one already possesses."

Kyojuro looked at Coulson seriously and said, "Our Demon Slayer Corps has existed for nearly a thousand years. Although there are a few members who have fallen from grace and succumbed to temptation, as a whole, we have been able to keep our original intentions and become an armed force dedicated to protecting humanity and eliminating demons. We have no selfish motives!"

If the method of eliminating demons is to be passed down, I will establish the team in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Demon Slayer Corps, rather than casually handing over the method to others, even government agencies.

Coulson opened his mouth, looking as if he wanted to say something but hesitated.

He turned to Tony, casting a pleading look, hoping that this hero, so highly regarded by the Flame Pillar, could put in a good word for him.

But Tony pretended not to see it and turned his back.

Helpless, he sighed and said, "But what you're doing is illegal!"

Gathering a crowd is not illegal, but establishing a private armed force is.

Although the line is blurred in the United States, and most major capital groups secretly maintain several mercenary teams, no one dares to do it openly.

"It's okay, someone will help me solve it!"

Kyojuro laughed heartily.

This surprised everyone.

From their previous conversation, they learned that Kyojuro had only been in the world for two days and had just arrived when he saw a report on the recent cannibalism case on the big screen in Times Square. He suspected that it was the work of a demon and began to investigate.

How could someone like him possibly have time to meet influential figures who can help solve these kinds of problems?

Could I have run into a scammer?

Out of concern for Kyojuro, Tony asked, "Could you tell me who that person is?"

“It was a kind-hearted man named Gu Qing!” Kyojuro replied without hesitation. “When I saw the news reports about the cannibalism cases and was wondering if ghosts were behind it, that man found me. He told me that ‘ghosts were behind the cannibalism cases.’ He also gave me a temporary ID and some money, and told me that I could ask him for help if I encountered any difficulties.”

It's Gu Qing again?

Although Kyojuro did not describe the person's appearance in detail, the image of that Asian youth who was able to find them when the transmigrators first arrived in this world, and whose name was Gu Qing, naturally came to everyone's minds. That was the only person they could think of.

but why?

Why help a transmigrator who just arrived?

Do you know each other?

It doesn't sound like it from the tone!

Coulson and Tony exchanged glances, both seeing the confusion in each other's eyes.

"call"

Coulson took a deep breath and asked, "It might be a bit impolite to ask, but why would Gu Qing help you? Did Mr. Kyojuro know him before?"

"Didn't I say he's a kind-hearted man?"

""

Coulson and Tony were speechless at Kyojuro's nonchalant attitude.

How naive must one be to believe that there are such kind-hearted people in the world?

Suddenly, Tony had a thought and continued, "I heard from Ms. Tamayo that your Demon Slayer Corps uses breathing techniques to fight demons. Gu Qing also knows a technique called Sun Breathing. Could he also be a member of the Demon Slayer Corps?"

""

Kyojuro did not answer, maintaining his cheerful smile and looking straight ahead.

Just when everyone thought he wouldn't answer, Kyojuro suddenly said, "I don't know, I've never heard of the Breath of the Sun!"

"The Demon Slayer Corps has many different breathing techniques, but the most basic ones are only five: Lightning, Fire, Wind, Water, and Rock. Others, such as Mist, Sound, Love, Snake, Flower, and Insect, are derived from these five. But I've never heard of Sun Breathing. Perhaps it was a breathing technique created by one of the Pillars in history that wasn't passed down!"

Of course, it's also possible that it's completely different from the Demon Slayer Corps' breathing techniques.

so much?

Coulson and Tony were stunned, but they also deeply felt the Demon Slayer Corps's foundation—knowledge that could only be preserved through the passage of time, not the sudden wealth of a nouveau riche.

Coulson sensed the Demon Slayer Corps' strength from Kyojuro's words, which made him lose confidence in recruiting Kyojuro into S.H.I.E.L.D.

After all, there are successful examples of others, so why join an organization you don't understand?

In fact, Coulson didn't really want to recruit Kyojuro.

As a qualified agent, he was not naive enough to trust someone he had just met, even if that person had just saved them; there was a possibility that it was all to 'gain their trust'.

But no matter what, Kyojuro's strength is undeniable.
