Chapter 113

【I don't know how much longer I can hold on with my illness. If one day I stop updating, it means I might be gone. Thank you all for your support over the years... Really, I'm so reluctant to leave you all...】

Zero's mansion.

The two were talking alone in a room.

Zero sat on the edge of the bed, and Luo Li brought a chair and sat before Zero, keeping a smile on her face, looking at Zero with a calm expression.

Zero was stared at so much that he didn't dare to look her in the eyes.

However, he still told Luo Li the whole story of his drifting to the other world over the past three years.

Actually, Luo Li no longer cared about this matter in her heart, but she still had to put on an act on the surface.

Seeing that Bai Yue had truly changed a lot, she also felt happy for him.

A few hours later.

Zero had told Luo Li everything.

Luo Li sighed slightly, stood up and came before Bai Yue, held his face, kissed his lips, and said: "You've worked hard these past few years."

"To be able to see you again... I really... really..." This time, Zero couldn't hold it back anymore, hugged Luo Li, and cried.

"It's okay now, we've come to take you home."

The two hugged for a while, then released each other.

"Can you call Kanae and Mitsuri up? I want to talk to them."

When Luo Li said this, Zero just wanted to speak, but was blocked by Luo Li's index finger on his lips.

"Don't worry, I won't do anything, it's just a talk between girls."

"Mm, I trust you."

Afterward, Luo Li gave Zero another kiss, and Zero then left the room to go downstairs and tell Kanae and Mitsuri about the situation.

The two women didn't hesitate at all, agreed directly, and went to the second-floor room to talk to Luo Li.

Zero stayed downstairs, chatting with his sister and comrades, while Kui Zhi prepared snacks with Nezuko to entertain everyone.

Inside the room.

Kanae and Mitsuri sat on the edge of the bed, looking at Luo Li nervously.

Their hands were rubbing against each other, not knowing where to put them.

There was no help for it; Luo Li's aura was too powerful.

Finally, Luo Li spoke first: "Don't be nervous, I just want to talk to you about Bai Yue... Zero."

"Do you... want us to leave Zero?"

Kanae felt a bit sad.

"Not at all."

"Then why did you call us up..."

"I just want to ask you, do you really love Zero?"

"Of course!" Mitsuri answered first: "I love Zero very much, for him, I am willing to give everything, even my... my... my body... I am willing to give it to him..."

The more she said, the smaller Mitsuri's voice became.

But her eyes remained firm; as long as she could be with Zero, she had no regrets.

Although Kanae didn't speak, her inner thoughts were naturally the same as Mitsuri's.

Seeing this, Luo Li smiled.

"Then I am relieved. Thank you for taking care of him for me over the past three years, and thank you for changing him!"

"Then what do you mean?"

"If you two are willing, I will take you both with me when I leave!"

A few short sentences already indicated Luo Li's answer and thoughts.

"Can I... can I call you Sister Luo Li?" Mitsuri asked.

"Of course."

"Yay! That's great, Kanae!"

Seeing this, the two women stepped forward and hugged Luo Li together.

Luo Li looked at the two young girls before her and smiled helplessly.

All in all, it was still quite good.

Night fell.

Zero was a bit worried, so he went to the second floor to check the situation.

Hearing the girls' laughter coming from the room, it was clear that the three of them were getting along very well.

His worry was unnecessary.

So he gave up the idea of entering the room.

But next, another matter needed to be discussed.

That is how to lure Kibutsuji Muzan out and completely eliminate him!

The Twelve Kizuki have basically been eliminated, leaving only Kibutsuji Muzan and that Nakime in the Infinity Castle, as well as some small miscellaneous demons in various regions.

As long as Kibutsuji Muzan is eliminated, those small miscellaneous demons will naturally disappear too.

It's just that Nakime needs to be dealt with first.

As long as she is there, Kibutsuji Muzan can always escape quickly!

So they must first find a way to determine the location of the Infinity Castle, and after finding it, find a way to enter, exterminate Nakime, and cut off Kibutsuji Muzan's hiding place!

"Right, the 【Nirvana】!"

So, Zero found Luo Zhan Yun and explained the situation to him.

Luo Zhan Yun indicated that this could be done.

"As long as there is the data on the Infinity Castle that you mentioned, the 【Nirvana】 can conduct a large-scale search to find the target."

"Then does the 【Nirvana】 have any attack weapons equipped now?"

"Yes, to prevent accidents, Xiao Yun has equipped the 【Nirvana】 with the 【Supernova】; it's enough to deal with that Nakime!"

Zero looked at Bai Yun and smiled: "I didn't expect you to be so careful."

"Hehe, this is all taught to me by you, that everything must be prepared for with two hands!" Bai Yun raised her head proudly.

"Since that's the case, let's discuss the next plan together!"

So, the group went to the Ubuyashiki mansion and found Ubuyashiki Yaoya to discuss the plan.

Thus, they split into two groups to act separately.

One group went to the 【Nirvana】 to search for the location of the Infinity Castle, and the other group went to the Ubuyashiki mansion.

Before leaving, Zero handed another 【Analysis Glasses】 to Bai Yun and said: "This contains relevant information about Kibutsuji Muzan, the Infinity Castle, and Nakime."

"I understand, brother."

On the way, passing by the Butterfly Mansion, they met Tamayo.

"Tamayo, you've come at the right time, let's talk about how to lure and eliminate Kibutsuji Muzan."

"I understand, I'm coming."

Arriving at the Ubuyashiki mansion.

Zero suddenly smelled a slight scent of gunpowder in the air.

Zero, who had dealt with weapons for many years, was naturally sensitive to gunpowder.

After thinking about it a little, he understood the reason for this.

Kibutsuji Muzan had a connection with the Ubuyashiki clan.

Eliminating Kibutsuji Muzan would allow future generations to no longer be plagued by the curse.

If he guessed correctly, Ubuyashiki Yaoya must have foreseen something.

So he was preparing to use himself as bait to lure out Kibutsuji Muzan.

After all, Kibutsuji Muzan also wanted to eliminate the Ubuyashiki clan.

Moreover, judging from the situation exposed by the Swordsmith Village incident, it should have been Nakime who helped Kibutsuji Muzan find the location.

So, it was probably only a matter of time before he found the Ubuyashiki clan.

"Zero, you're here." Ubuyashiki Yaoya, accompanied by his wife, stood in the inner room waiting.

"It seems you intend to use yourself as bait, planning to sacrifice yourself to boost the morale of the swordsmen and eliminate Kibutsuji Muzan."

Ubuyashiki Yaoya kept his smile and replied: "Nothing can escape you; if you were on Kibutsuji Muzan's side, I'm afraid..."

He didn't finish the rest of the sentence, but everyone understood what it meant.

Zero just waved his hand and said: "I have already thought of how to deal with Kibutsuji Muzan; you don't need to make such a sacrifice. Even if you don't think for yourself, you should think for your wife and children."

Ubuyashiki Tianyin, standing to the side, did not show any signs of fear.

No matter what her husband did, she would support him.

But if everyone could survive, that would naturally be the best.

Afterward, Zero summoned members of the Kakushi and moved all the explosives hidden in the dark away.

And he gathered the remaining Hashira swordsmen to discuss the next plan.

As for Tamayo's existence, everyone had long accepted it, so they didn't reject her.

"Regarding luring out Kibutsuji Muzan, I do have a way."

Zero opened the projection mode of his 【Analysis Glasses】, displaying a blue flower.

"This plant is called the Blue Bianhua; we can use it to lure out Kibutsuji Muzan, after all, he has always wanted to obtain it."

"However, we don't have the Blue Bianhua," Tamayo said, expressing her thoughts.

"Not having it doesn't mean we can't make it; we can just incorporate your drugs into it when the time comes."

Once this idea was put forward, everyone felt it was worth a try.

"Since that's the case, leave it to me, Shinobu, and Tamayo to complete together."

"You've worked hard, Kanae."

"It's nothing, I also want to contribute and eliminate Kibutsuji Muzan as soon as possible."

Just like that, the three women returned to the Butterfly Mansion in advance to prepare to make the Blue Bianhua and incorporate the drugs into it.

Late at night, the group discussed for a while longer, then left the Ubuyashiki mansion one after another, preparing to welcome the battle to come.

【Brother, I have found the location of the Infinity Castle】!

Zero received Bai Yun's message and replied: 【Understood, coming right away】!

Entering the 【Nirvana】, he came to the cockpit.

Zero looked at the information on the projection screen; the Infinity Castle was actually underground in Asakusa, Tokyo!

"If we fight there, we must evacuate the people living there in advance..." Zero's mind raced, thinking of countermeasures.

"Xiao Yun, can you monitor Kibutsuji Muzan's movements?"

"I can, but it will take some time."

"That's good, find a way to monitor Kibutsuji Muzan, and then tell me."

"Mm, I understand, brother."

Afterward, Bai Yun performed a series of operations on the screen, and finally confirmed there were no problems, then pressed a button.

A drone was released from the cabin of the 【Nirvana】.

Below the drone was a laser emitter and satellite device that could connect to the 【Nirvana】.

Not long after, the drone arrived in Asakusa, Tokyo, and activated stealth mode.

Through remote control, Bai Yun fired a laser invisible to the naked eye, which seemed to have some small object attached to it, penetrating underground together.

When the laser reached the location, the small object attached itself to an inconspicuous corner near Nakime.

Nakime seemed to notice something wrong, but after observing for a long time, she didn't find any problems.

She simply dismissed what happened just now as an illusion.

She continued to use her eyeball clones to search for the Demon Slayer Corps headquarters.

"Nakime, send me back to the Infinity Castle!"

Zing!

Kibutsuji Muzan appeared beside Nakime and asked: "Nakime, has the Demon Slayer Corps been found?"

"Reporting to Lord Muzan, almost there; I have already grasped the locations of most of the Demon Slayer Corps' demon hunters, and I will be able to find them soon."

"Since that's the case, don't act rashly after finding them! Five days from now, with Asakusa, Tokyo as the target, I will tell you what to do!"

"Yes, Lord Muzan!"

What Kibutsuji Muzan didn't know was that everything he said now was being monitored by Zero, Bai Yun, and the others.

"Five more days, huh?" He thought for a moment and said: "Xiao Yun, please continue monitoring."

"Mm."

Afterward, Zero left the 【Nirvana】 and went to the Ubuyashiki mansion again.

"Zero, is there anything else?"

"Can you find a way to evacuate everyone in Asakusa, Tokyo?"

Ubuyashiki Yaoya thought for a moment and replied: "It is possible, but it will take some time."

"Try to evacuate them within five days, but don't attract Kibutsuji Muzan's attention; that place will become a battlefield!"

Understanding the severity of the matter, Ubuyashiki Yaoya immediately summoned his Kasugai Crow and transmitted the information to the informants in Asakusa, Tokyo.

Don't underestimate the connections of the Ubuyashiki clan; in Asakusa, Tokyo, there were many Demon Slayer Corps informants scattered about.

The Demon Slayer Corps being able to survive until now without being discovered by Kibutsuji Muzan was not just because of the Ubuyashiki clan's special abilities, but also their powerful connections.

After doing all this, Zero once again summoned the remaining Hashira swordsmen to his mansion.

He told them everything he had heard.

Thus, Zero's plan changed a bit.

"Gyomei, Tengen, Sanemi, Giyu, Kyojuro, Obanai, Muichiro, the seven of you, five days from now I will help send you to Asakusa, Tokyo. If possible, bring Tanjiro and the other two, as well as Genya.

Additionally, I will have Number Four, Number Six, and Number Nine go with you."

Shinazugawa Sanemi didn't understand why Zero wanted his younger brother to go along.

Just as he was about to question him, Zero spoke: "Don't underestimate your brother; although he doesn't know Breathing Technique, he is also a rare combat force! Moreover, his strength can already be said to have entered the 【Hinoe】 rank.

Besides, if you don't believe in yourself, could it be that you don't believe in everyone else either?"

More than a month ago, Shinazugawa Genya found Zero and told him he wanted to become stronger.

Through understanding, he learned of Shinazugawa Genya's special constitution—the Demon Eater.

Since he didn't know Breathing Technique, he would change from the aspect of physique.

So, he taught him his own training methods.

Shinazugawa Genya thus entered hellish training.

The arduous training didn't make Shinazugawa Genya give up; instead, his heart became even more determined!

He wanted to prove himself to his big brother!

Moreover, Zero also helped the brothers resolve the misunderstanding between them.

Although there were some small episodes in between, there was no major harm.

After a month of effort, his strength had improved greatly, and his physique was even stronger than before!

After making arrangements, Zero looked at the remaining Hashira swordsmen and said: "Mr. Shinjuro, Old Mr. Sangdao, former Water Hashira Old Mr. Urokodaki will also come later; you stay at the mansion and protect the Master and the others well."

"Mitsuri, you, along with Kanae, Shinobu, and Kanao, take everyone from Tamayo's Butterfly Mansion to my mansion and protect everyone well."

Doing this was also Zero's selfish motive.

Moreover, he was prepared to meet Kibutsuji Muzan again in person!

After arranging all this, Zero handed the 【Dark Alloy Gatling】 to Himejima Gyomei.

He handed the 【Dark Alloy Stun Gun】 to Shinazugawa Sanemi.

Tomioka Giyu held the 【Dark Alloy Missile Launcher】, and Tokito Muichiro held the 【Quantum Dual Pistols】.

Afterward, Zero took out a pile of bombs and gave them to Uzui Tengen, telling him to have a blast.

As for Obanai, Zero gave him the 【Quantum Shield】.

Finally, he took out the 【Destroyer Small Drone】 and gave it to Rengoku Kyojuro.

He also taught them how to use these weapons.

"I hope these weapons can help you in Asakusa, Tokyo."

The seven people received the weapons, and all of them had a feeling of wanting to try them out, wishing Kibutsuji Muzan would appear right now so they could fire at him from a distance!

Seeing this scene, Zero suddenly thought of a phrase: Kibutsuji Muzan, the times have changed!

"Xiao Yue, there is something I want you to help me with."

"Master, tell me, Xiao Yue is ready at any time."

"I will help you activate the 【Growth Function】; you drive my 【Dark Alloy Armored Tank】 and support Asakusa, Tokyo five days from now!"

"Yes, Master!"
