She had already changed out of the Air Defense Section 6 uniform, but still wore a white shirt and a short skirt. She had only replaced the Section 6 uniform jacket that was originally draped over her shoulders with a military uniform that was similar to Jiang Lianqiu's style.
"So, you've resigned from Anti-Aircraft Section 6?"
"Well, the application was only approved yesterday, but it caused quite a stir."
Yue Chengliu smiled easily. Before resigning, she was always worried about causing trouble, but after really unloading the job, she felt an unprecedented sense of relief in her heart.
"Section Chief, I, Sokkaku, and Yuma have officially resigned. We are now considered your employees, okay?"
"Come to think of it, after learning the truth, Souga and Yuma were quite shocked."
She took the initiative to put her arm through Jiang Lianqiu's arm, adjusted the frequency of her steps and walked forward with him.
"You're still calling me Section Chief Miyabi even though I've already resigned?"
"I'm used to it, and I don't want to change." Yue Chengliu replied with a smile, "However, although I can finally get off work on time, Vivian hasn't arranged any work for us. Can we just sit there idle forever?"
"Other people would rather just take the money without doing any work, and be salary thieves, but you are so kind that you take the initiative to take the work for yourself."
Jiang Lianqiu thought of Qingque, and then looked at Yue Chengliu beside him. The two people's attitudes towards work were truly different.
"Isn't that just a waste of your money?" Yue Chengliu winked mischievously, "I don't want to be that kind of woman."
"How about we leave the Silver Crown branch in New Eridu to you? Vivian is in charge of the entire Silver Crown, but we also need to assign people to the branches in various worlds."
"I've never done a similar job. Aren't you afraid that I'll mess it up?" Yue Chengliu was a little unconfident.
Just like when she was formulating strategies in Lesson 6 in the past, the difference was that this time she frankly expressed her inner hesitation to Jiang Lianqiu.
"At worst, I can just rebuild it. I can afford to lose money. I'll just give you some practice. Besides, given our situation, we can't afford to lose money."
"Then I'll... give it a try?" Yue Chengliu knew the situation of the Silver Crown Star Ring, so after thinking it over, he stopped hesitating. After accepting the job, he brought up the situation here, "I heard there are ghosts in this world?"
"I knew you wouldn't be able to help but come over."
Jiang Lianqiu laughed, not surprised at Yue Chengliu's purpose.
This world was discovered accidentally because of her spiritual power. Yue Chengliu, who also knew about this, had no choice but to come and find out after learning that he could go there in person.
"I had a lot of ghosts captured and studied, and we've got some preliminary results. ——Here we are."
A gate on the side opened automatically, and Jiang Lianqiu took Yue Chengliu into the laboratory inside.
In front of one wall of the spacious laboratory stood a row of dozens of transparent cylinders, filled with unknown solutions, and floating in them were evil spirits captured by the mechanical servants.
The busy beauty in kimono saw the person coming, stopped what she was doing and walked forward to greet him.
"My Lord, are you here to inspect?"
"Didn't I tell you to just call me Commander, Tamayo?"
The Tamayo in front of him was the doctor who broke free from the control of Muzan Kibutsuji in the plot and had been secretly studying how to turn demons into humans again.
She and Yushiro tried to resist when they were found and forcibly taken away by the mechanical servants sent by Jiang Lianqiu, but now, the two have officially become members of Jiang Lianqiu's command.
"I still prefer to call you my Lord." Zhu Shi smiled faintly and looked at Yue Chengliu with some doubt in his eyes. "This lady... doesn't seem to be human, but she doesn't look like a ghost either..."
"You're wrong about that." Yue Chengliu shook his head. "Strictly speaking, I'm also a ghost, but according to Lian Qiu, I should be a complete ghost."
"——!?"
Tamayo couldn't understand, but soon she thought of something and said in surprise:
"Miss, could it be that you are the owner of the tube of blood that the lord sent earlier!?"
"That's right." Yue Chengliu looked around the laboratory environment. When his eyes fell on the evil spirits that were soaked in the solution and fell into a coma, he instinctively frowned in disgust.
"It's really you!" Tamayo was even more surprised. "Your blood has a very powerful calming effect on demons. I tried diluting it a hundred times, and the scent it emits also has a strong suppressive effect on these low-level demons. Just smelling it makes them feel like they have seen Muzan Kibutsuji. They can only lie on the ground and dare not move."
"Even I, if you hadn't helped me strengthen my spirit in advance and completely break free from the limitations of ghosts, I would probably worship you as the Ghost King."
"There's more to this?" Yue Chengliu turned to look at Jiang Lianqiu, "How did I become the Ghost King of this world?"
"It's because after you became a perfect demon, your bloodline's ability to suppress the evil demons in this world is too strong."
Jiang Lianqiu explained.
"Tamayo, anything else you found?"
"Yes, my lord, yes!" Tamayo 997 nodded repeatedly, "I've discovered that the extract from the blue Higanbana can greatly activate the demon blood, allowing the demon cells to continue evolving."
"Several demons we captured for experiments also managed to evolve beyond their sunlight restrictions. One even managed to transform into something like Muzan Kibutsuji. Of course, all of these demons were eventually dealt with."
"I've also conducted experiments on myself to ensure the absolute safety of the evolution. Would you like to use the extract on Miss Nezuko?"
"can."
Of course he wouldn't hesitate to help Nezuko overcome the sun as soon as possible.
"I'll have someone call Nezuko over right away. ——But Tamayo, haven't you always wanted to turn back into a human? You used the blue Higanbana on yourself, and you still want to turn back?"
Tamayo was silent for a moment, and finally sighed: "When I was still controlled by Muzan Kibutsuji, I killed my family with my own hands, and killed too many innocent people."
"My hands are covered in blood and sins, and I need to atone for them. My lord, you don't need my assistance at all when I want to eliminate Muzan Kibutsuji. In that case, I can only atone for my sins in other ways - using my ghost body to help you with research is the only way I can think of."
Chapter 394: Nezuko did it on purpose
Nezuko was brought over quickly.
When the little girl came, she was holding a big Mingou cake in her hand, her cheeks were bulging from eating so much. After seeing Jiang Lianqiu, she hesitated for a while before handing the half-eaten Mingou cake to him.
"Brother, eat~"
"Alright, alright, I don't want to eat it." Jiang Lianqiu touched Nezuko's head, "You're almost crying because you can't bear to eat it, so don't give it to me."
Yue Chengliu felt soft-hearted watching from the side, and took out a bunch of candies and snacks and handed them over.
As soon as Nezuko saw him, she immediately became close to Tsukishiro Ryu.
After Nezuko was placed on the operating table and lay down quietly to sleep, Yue Chengliu whispered in Jiang Lianqiu's ear: "This child makes me feel a little familiar."
"Just like the Ashen Horns."
"You mean, the intimacy between ghosts' bloodlines?" Jiang Lianqiu raised an eyebrow. "What about other ghosts? Like Zhu Shi?"
Looking at the busy Zhu Shi, Yue Cheng Liu shook his head.
"Only Nezuko. I don't feel anything for the other ghosts."
Jiang Lianqiu thought for a while and speculated uncertainly: "Nezuko is indeed a little special. Even if we do nothing, she will become the first ghost in the world to completely overcome sunlight."
"She must have undergone some kind of mutation during her transformation into a demon. Instead of changing into something like Muzan Kibutsuji and other demons, she mutated into someone like you, Sister Liu?"
"It's possible. I suspect there are two situations in which ghosts can be transformed in this world."
Yuecheng Liu also knew about this place in advance. She looked at Nezuko with soft eyes as she was being injected with blue Higanbana extract. When the little girl looked over, she gave her a gentle smile.
"The difference lies in whether or not one has eaten humans. Resisting the urge to eat humans during the ghost transformation process, and not resisting and eating humans, will cause the ghost to transform in two completely different directions."
"But, Lianqiu, what did you mean by that? What do you mean Nezuko can overcome the sunlight even if we do nothing? Doesn't this child need your help to resist the urge to eat people?"
"Don't underestimate her." Jiang Lianqiu pulled out a research report. "Look here. This is the report the researcher gave a few days ago after analyzing Nezuko's condition."
Yue Chengliu carefully scanned the screen before him and exclaimed, "Is this even possible? Because the ancestors of the Kamado family have practiced the Sun Breathing Technique for generations, their descendants have a certain degree of genetic mutation. This mutation is most obvious in Nezuko?"
"Ordinary people simply can't withstand the physical changes brought about by the Sun Breathing Technique. This is why the Kamado family has been weak for generations. It wasn't until this generation of Tanjiro and Nezuko that this problem was overcome."
"Nezuko's transformation is even more obvious than Tanjiro's. Her mental will is extremely strong, and her body cells are naturally several times more active than those of ordinary people. You know, even though this little girl has the body of a child now, in fact, before she turned into a demon, her height far exceeded that of women of the same age in this era, almost reaching the height of men."
"In this age of widespread malnutrition, Nezuko's growth and development is abnormal."
"Her body is naturally able to absorb anti-entropic energy from the glow of stars, just like those swordsmen who use breathing techniques. Although it can only absorb a very weak trace, it is enough."
At this time, Tamayo had completed the injection of blue Higanbana extract into Nezuko.
She wiped her hands and walked over, bringing up a light screen that displayed the real-time changes in Nezuko's cells.
"Lord, look, the extract is already taking effect—Nezuko's cells are rapidly dividing and replicating."
Jiang Lianqiu only took a glance and asked another question: "How's the analysis of the specific situation of the blue Bianhua?"
Tamayo spread his hands with a bitter face, "My Lord, have you forgotten that I have only been exposed to this new knowledge for a few days? Being able to use the equipment in this laboratory with some proficiency is already the limit."
"You should ask these questions to the researchers and teachers, not to a native of the Taisho era like me."
"You've learned to tell these jokes? That's good." Jiang Lianqiu laughed dumbly and realized that he had asked the wrong person.
About half an hour later, Nezuko, who was lying on the operating table with her eyes closed, finally responded.
Her body began to grow slowly but visibly, and soon she returned to her original 12-year-old appearance.
There is a small and cute horn extending from the forehead, and the end of the horn is light cherry pink.
Tsukishiro Liu gently touched Nezuko's horn, then touched his own forehead: "This is exactly the same horn as mine after I transformed into a demon."
"Horns have already grown at this age?" Jiang Lianqiu was a little surprised. "Don't horns grow out when you are about 18 or 19 years old?"
"That's Nezuko forcing herself to temporarily enter a completely demonic state, my lord," Tamayo explained. "This state is unsustainable. If it lasts for a while, she'll have to change back."
"But now, Nezuko can maintain this posture stably for a long time."
"I understand." Jiang Lianqiu nodded. "Just like there's no need to transform violently in anger, you can just use the Super Saiyan form as your normal state."
Zhu Shi and Yue Chengliu: ""? ? ? ""
"You're saying something I can't understand again." Yue Chengliu poked Jiang Lianqiu's lower back with her fingertips. When she looked at Nezuko again, she found that the horns on her forehead had disappeared.
"Hey, can she control the appearance of horns like me?"
As soon as the words fell, Nezuko opened her eyes.
The girl's pupils did not return to their human appearance, but remained the pink vertical pupils of a ghost.
She sat up, blinked, and suddenly puffed, returning to her toddler form again.
She opened her arms, kicked her legs, and threw herself into Jiang Lianqiu's arms.
"Brother, hug me~~~"
Jiang Lianqiu habitually held Nezuko's butt with his arm, and looked down at the girl in his arms who was hooking her arms around his neck and burying her face in his chest.
"Why did it change back again?"
I originally thought that Nezuko would still have no reaction like before, and just clamor for a hug and food like a child. Unexpectedly, after asking this question, Jiang Lianqiu clearly felt that Nezuko's body stiffened for a moment.
"...?"
Could it be that she did it on purpose!?
Chapter 395: Longing for Childhood Nezuko
Putting little Nezuko on the ground, Jiang Lianqiu leaned over, gently placed one hand on her head, and looked directly into the little girl's pink pupils.
"Nezuko."
"elder brother?"
Nezuko stared back at him with wide eyes.
Although the little girl's eyes were as clear and bright as always, Jiang Lianqiu still caught a glimpse of a flash of uneasiness deep in her eyes.
It's confirmed, Nezuko is pretending.
Although her body returned to the form of a child, her mind did not degenerate.
Jiang Lianqiu stood up calmly and asked Tamayo about other aspects of Nezuko.
"Are you sure there's nothing wrong with your body? Or is there anything you need to be careful about in the future?"
"My Lord, this is like asking a doctor about the precautions for a patient's treatment."
Tamayo felt a little amused.
"Nezuko has no problems, at least physically. She must have overcome the sunlight by now. The demon blood in her body will continue to transform her body in the future, allowing her to continue to evolve."
"I can't guarantee what the end point of this evolution will be, but in terms of direction, it's progressing towards Miss Yuecheng Liu."
"Me?" Yuecheng Liu nodded, and the look he gave Nezuko became more friendly. "I think Miss Tamayo came to these conclusions because her body is the same, right?"
"That's right," Tamayo admitted. "I've analyzed Miss Tsukishiro Liu's blood and compared it to ghosts like us who have been exposed to Higanbana extract. I've been tracking and studying her for several days before I dare to draw such a conclusion."
