I'm a magnetic field madman

"No!! I did all this for a reason!!" Zero screamed.

Her beautiful face was now distorted beyond recognition by the rampaging, dividing cells, and her whole body was swollen, yet she was still pleading...

"I will use that Demon Slayer Corps member to lure out their 'Pillars' and then kill them! Lord Muzan, I will prove I am not a coward!!"

“I believe that even if those Demon Slayer Corps members don’t know anything, they will definitely be an obstacle for us… If we can’t get anything out of them, I will, I will start investigating immediately!”

The decaying cells in Zero's body stopped festering, and Muzan uttered a cold, detached statement...

"If you fail, then die."

Muzan has withdrawn his will, and he will definitely fulfill his "promise" because he simply doesn't care about any Lower Moons.

Just as the trembling Zero transformed back into Yumiko and lay back on the bed, a dark figure outside let out an amused laugh.

"Muzan... So, he's the leader of these monsters who're like 'mutants'?"

Bai Wujie arrived at the mansion very early, because of the commotion that had occurred, and because the few spies he had casually sent out had disappeared without a trace.

Although the magnetic field no longer prevents him from freely reading the minds of others in the mansion, the slight electric current still allows him to perform lie detection within a certain range.

A person's thought process will inevitably produce some emotional fluctuations... Unless the person is specially trained and very cautious, an electric current can achieve a function similar to what ordinary people call a "lie detector".

Of course, that's nothing compared to mind reading; it's just a simple interpretation of emotions.

The spies he sent out died, but Bai Wujie didn't care at all, because he had already gained enough for tonight.

First of all, this "mutant" named Zero has very special abilities. Just like the mutants on Earth and Mars in the past, he has a strange appearance, a strong physique and self-repair ability, as well as the habit of eating people.

Of course, this piece of trash in front of us is nothing compared to even one percent of the mutants who once ravaged the land...

Because those mutated beings were all mutated by magnetic field radiation during the unbridled battles of the Magnetic Field Martial Gods.

Waste and garbage simply do not have the conditions to be born, so the vast majority of mutants are strong people who are born with the ability to rotate magnetic fields.

He couldn't sense any magnetic force moving within this piece of trash, though of course, different worlds require different measurements. Nevertheless, he became even more interested in Muzan.

He hadn't sensed anyone else's presence here, and this Zero didn't seem to be talking to himself.

She had just been "punished," and the tone of that conversation sounded more like she was speaking to her own "body."

"The ability to manipulate other people's cells from a great distance... No, it's impossible for it to be that strong."

Bai Wujie stroked his chin and said softly, "Mind communication is one thing... but to crush cells with one's power from an extremely distant place where one cannot even feel it would probably require at least 500,000 horsepower or a relatively weak magnetic field combined with an extremely high level of perfection."

Such an opponent would crush Bai Wujie in his current state as easily as crushing a bug... and such a powerful figure would certainly be able to detect his sneaky antics!

So, is it Muzan's special ability?

He has the ability to manipulate the body cells of his subordinates from a distance and even communicate with them "telepathically." Do the subordinates he controls also have the ability to recover at an ultra-fast speed, similar to "cell regeneration"?

Bai Wujie's smile grew even more intense with interest.

Magnetic field rotation is a nearly omnipotent force, but that is always only relevant to high-horsepower "strongers".

Moreover, even if you reach the level of a strong person, there are some things that are very troublesome to accomplish.

Kibutsuji Muzan, I, Bai Wujie, am becoming more and more interested in you!!

Bai Wujie stood up, and following the swirling fallen leaves, used the "Thousand Leaf Invisibility Technique" to instantly disappear from the spot.

Now that things have been clarified here, it's time to head to the other side.

He is also very interested in fighting against this organization or individual, Muzan Kibutsuji!

6.Odds

Murata could no longer feel the existence of his own body.

Pain is a mechanism by which the body protects itself... but when the pain reaches a certain level, self-protection becomes a form of torture, and the brain will shut down this protective mechanism.

The human body is such a sophisticated instrument, but unfortunately, external forces can interfere with its normal operation.

With the reinjection of the drug, Murata was once again forced to regain his consciousness and senses... and the endless pain almost destroyed his spirit!

"Speak quickly, who are you, and why did you break into Major General Kuroda's residence to kill him?"

The repeated questioning is a simple yet effective method of interrogation...

Murata can't hold on any longer.

Even if he didn't want to answer, his body was no longer something that his mind could control.

As if by instinct, he couldn't help but confess everything.

"I...I went to kill, to kill ghosts..."

He murmured his answer, his tormented spirit further tormenting his aching body, only to be met with more whippings soaked in salt water!

"Who are you trying to fool? You bastard, looks like you haven't suffered enough yet!!"

The warden's fat face trembled with rage, and he simply couldn't believe such a ridiculous and surreal answer!

Murata gave a helpless self-deprecating laugh, perhaps somewhat relieved that this guy, who had become a complete fanatic of so-called "science," didn't believe him and didn't reveal their secrets.

But just as Murata was waiting for the whip to fall again, everything around him suddenly became completely silent.

Murata seemed to smell a strange floral fragrance. He felt his body being put down, and the pain gradually disappeared from his scarred body.

He struggled to open his eyes and saw a beautiful girl with a mint-colored butterfly hair clip and a pair of clear violet eyes.

"Ah? How are you feeling? I don't know if it's lucky, but most of the injuries you suffered weren't life-threatening."

The girl smiled as she injected Murata with the medicine. Feeling his strength gradually returning, Murata struggled to his feet, then knelt prostrate before the girl, filled with shame…

"Lord Insect Pillar! I...I exposed the existence of the Demon Slayer Corps, violating the Corps rules. I am willing to die a thousand deaths!"

"It's alright...they won't believe it anyway," Shinobu Kocho chuckled.

"And this isn't entirely your fault. Although being caught by the authorities is your problem, I don't think the lord would be so harsh on you."

"So, leave quickly. The Hidden Ones will soon pick you up and take you to the nearby Fujinoya to rest."

"No... Lord Insect Pillar, that demon, that demon is still hiding in that mansion," Murata struggled to say.

"Although I don't know where she's hiding, she's definitely plotting something! Those people, they could become that ghost's food at any moment!"

“I know, that’s what I’m here to handle.”

"No, please let me lend you a hand!"

"Your injuries aren't fatal, but that doesn't mean you're alright," Shinobu Kocho said, her brow furrowed.

“Your physical condition is very bad. The drugs injected into your body have severely damaged your organs… Although the drugs I injected have made your kidneys start to break down the drug components quickly, if you don’t rest, there is a high chance that you will develop chronic illnesses.”

"I know, but I can still fight!"

Murata insisted, because perhaps many people see him as a clown-like comedic character... but he is a member of the Demon Slayer Corps, part of a mad organization!

Looking at Murata like this, Shinobu tilted her head and said no more.

She wouldn't try to dissuade someone with a death wish from sacrificing themselves to achieve their goal, because perhaps she herself would be in that role.

The Demon Slayer Corps, an organization that has existed for hundreds of years, has been able to continue to this day thanks to these people who are willing to burn themselves out.

Otherwise, one cannot gain fame or profit through public exposure...

How could an organization that has to dance on the edge of a knife every day survive to this day and even continue to grow stronger?

Perhaps Muzan's future assessment of these people will not be wrong... Even with an immense blood feud, the Demon Slayer Corps is just a group of "madmen" compared to ordinary people.

Shinobu Kocho leaped across the rooftops, her haori making her move swiftly like a butterfly in flight.

Murata, wielding his Nichirin Blade, chased after the figure with a limp... and the fire of revenge gradually burned within his veins.

Shinobu Kocho quickly arrived at Major General Kuroda's residence, where the mansion was quiet in the deepest night with the lights off.

The silence made Shinobu Kocho realize that something was very wrong.

In the center of the courtyard, a little girl was bouncing a ball repeatedly with a questioning look on her face.

chap! !

The Dance of Bee Teeth - Truly Exquisite!

Without the slightest hesitation or delay, Shinobu Kocho's figure flashed past the girl like a butterfly in an instant.

The Nichirin Blade he drew had already slit the girl's throat, but only a small part of the blade was cut open.

Shinobu Kocho's sword is like that; only a small part of the tip has a blade, because it's more like a syringe than a sword.

More than a swordsman, she values ​​her talent as a pharmacist. She excels at developing healing medicines and antidotes, making her the strongest medical professional in the Demon Slayer Corps' logistics.

However, the more skilled a doctor is, the more skilled a poison master is also. Shinobu Kocho's method of killing demons was by injecting venom.

Rather than the butterfly in her name, she's more like a venomous bee driven by a driver...

But this was the only clever and effective method she chose when she couldn't cut the demon's throat because she wasn't naturally strong.

From one perspective, Shinobu Kocho is the most terrifying of all the Pillars, while from another perspective, she is also the weakest.

If the targeted toxins are ineffective, she might be blasted down without even needing to be charged. Her powerful speed, honed through training, wouldn't guarantee her victory.

As the blade slits her neck and injects concentrated wisteria liquid, Shinobu Kocho awaits the outcome.

Although a little girl bouncing a ball in such a bizarre environment is certainly not a normal person, Shinobu Kocho cannot rule out the possibility that she is human.

The concentrated sap from wisteria flowers is certainly not a beneficial substance for humans, but it's not lethal either. It's unpleasant as it may be, but at least we can figure out if she's human.

The girl stopped bouncing the ball, touched her neck, and suddenly burst into tears!

The wisteria flower concentrate didn't work? Is she human?!

With that explosive cry, the entire Kuroda mansion awoke once more, and an overwhelming cacophony of footsteps surged forth!

"asshole!!"

Major General Kuroda, his eyes red and pistol in hand, was the first to rush out... Driven by his love for his daughter, he pulled the trigger on the intruder without saying a word.

Although he still didn't understand what had happened, it was enough that he knew a woman of unknown origin wanted to harm his daughter.

With her slow aiming speed, it was impossible for her to hit Shinobu Kocho. She dodged the attack by sidestepping and then rushed towards the wailing girl without hesitation!

Dance of Bee Teeth - True Debauchery

Admittedly, she didn't have the strength to sever a neck, but the extreme speed of her thrust still allowed her to achieve something similar—

Before Major General Kuroda could react, his daughter's neck was ripped open by a swift thrust. His eyes widened, but before he could utter a sound, Shinobu Kocho kicked him away!

"Quickly, kill this madwoman!!"

He fell to the ground, his eyes red, and screamed, ordering everyone to kill the madman who killed his daughter.

But no one listened to him. To be precise, many people present at the mansion, those carrying weapons, stared wide-eyed at Shinobu Kocho.

"Hehehe, to actually use such force against a little girl, the Demon Slayer Corps really is a bunch of cold-blooded killers."

Yumiko, whose neck had been ripped open, let out a mocking giggle as she looked at Shinobu Kocho before her. The latter merely brushed the congealed blood from the blade and chuckled softly…

"Your disguise should have been more sophisticated; a corpse will completely solidify after 24 hours."

"Or perhaps, your Blood Demon Arts don't allow you to achieve such precise control."

"Hehehe, as expected of a Pillar, they're different." Yumiko, no, Reiko, let out a series of laughs...

"But it's too late. Stepping into this place is like a fly getting into a pitcher plant!"

"What awaits you is only your inevitable death!"

"Blood demon magic that manipulates human bodies? No, your ability is more like parasitic control."

Shinobu Kocho watched the crowd approach like zombies and said softly...

"Hehehe, quite the keen observation skills, huh?" Ling Yuzi laughed wildly.

"My name was given to me by Lord Muzan. When he gave me a new life, he also gave me a name that matched my abilities: Mukago. This is also the origin of my Blood Demon Art: Arrowhead Seed!"

"I see." Shinobu Kocho nodded gently.

"Lingyuzi" refers to a type of medicinal herb. Also known as Huangdu, Shancigu, or Dioscorea opposita, it is a perennial herbaceous wild vine. It has medicinal uses including treating boils and carbuncles, clearing heat and reducing swelling, resolving phlegm and dissipating nodules, cooling the blood and stopping bleeding.

However, such an ability reflected onto Blood Demon Arts would not be a good thing.

Dioscorea is a fast-growing plant that reproduces by scattering and dropping its "fruits".

That is both a fruit and a seed, and this demon's ability is probably to use this special "seed" to control others and to achieve complete control over their bodies in a short period of time.
