Chapter 383

"At this moment, is your Foundation Stone in this room?"

"Yes."

"Has your memory not been altered or deleted, including but not limited to the Flowing Light Memory Garden technique?"

Shajin closed his eyes: "Yes."

"Are you from Cigangniya's Aweijin Clan?"

"Yes." Shajin chuckled, "You even know this?"

"Do the Aweijin people have no ability to read, alter, or control their own or others' thoughts?"

"No, does that matter?"

Sunday calmly gazed at him, his eyes seeming to pierce his heart: "Do you love your family more than yourself?"

Shajin was stunned, he steadied his gaze and firmly answered: "Yes."

"All the Aweijin people died in a massacre, is that right?"

"No."

"Are you the sole survivor of the clan?"

Shajin lowered his head, the hair on his forehead casting a shadow in the lamp light, exactly covering his eyes. He pressed his lips tightly, each word seeming to be spoken with all his strength: "…Maybe."

Sunday continued questioning: "——Do you hate and want to destroy this world with your own hands?"

「「……」」 -> none.

Shajin was stunned, silent for a moment before shaking his head: "…I don't know."

Demon Slayer.

"Wuwuwu, this Mr. Shajin is so pitiful!"

In the Demon Slayer Corps meeting room, a soft sob suddenly interrupted the thoughts of several Pillars. As everyone's gaze shifted from the ceiling, they saw Mitsuri Kanroji's face already streaked with tears. She cried until the tip of her nose turned slightly red, her pupils trembling, like spring water rippled by wind.

"Are you looking for… these?"

Sunday slowly lifted the gauze beside his finger, revealing two crystal-clear gems underneath.

"How could someone be so miserable! The whole clan is almost extinct, clearly their world has no demons! Why do humans slaughter each other?"

Mitsuri Kanroji couldn't understand at all.

Inosuke Hashibira remained silent for a while before slowly opening his mouth: "Mitsuri Kanroji, sometimes human-to-human persecution is more terrifying than demons. Over the years, how many people have the demons of this world killed? Thousands? Tens of thousands? But for those generals and daimyo… they merely need to move a thought in their minds, and they can kill tens of thousands in a single night

Xingqiri: "I have heard that your interactions with Mr. Shajin have not been pleasant. I also know that you are a true scholar, whose pursuit of knowledge surpasses everything else."

"You should also understand that a qualified scholar can recognize their own position and will not lose more important things for trivial dignity."

"Xingqiri nodded, decisively putting forward their condition: 'If you agree to assist the family, I will hand over all our research results on the star core. You should know very well that besides the family, no faction is willing to share such knowledge.'"
