Demon Slayer: I advise Wuzan to abandon evil and become a good person
Chapter 25 The Strange Blood Seller
"Boss, why are you here?"
Candlelight flickered inside the church, the dome was magnificent, and relief carvings of saints were depicted on the surrounding walls.
The huge stone pillars appear solemn and majestic, supporting the entire church, and every part of it exudes a sacred and luxurious atmosphere.
"Oh? Why can't I come?" Teruo Aoki sat on the first seat in the hall, playing with his fingers expressionlessly.
This…this, this, no wonder the expenses are so high recently, that’s why!!
"Of course. Are you here to inspect the work?"
The ghost wearing the clothes of a palace priest knelt on the ground and spoke weakly.
"I guess so. Arrange a room for me. I will stay in Xilin City recently."
After saying that, he glanced around and said, "This place is well built. No wonder the amount in the general ledger given to me by the accounting office seems to have increased."
"Boss, this is the main temple of the Ciyou Divine Religion. It must be built in a grand manner. Otherwise, how can we attract people from other shrines?"
"Needless to say, from now on, the Divine Church's salary will be reduced by half. I have already notified the accountant."
You are asked to take money every day but do nothing. Why build such a nice house? The religion does not rely on financial resources to win believers.
There is no need for any funding from the headquarters here, and the daily expenses can probably be covered by the offerings from the believers alone.
It's good enough that you are not asked to offer tribute. Those who secretly run clinics will offer a batch of blood and corpses every month.
The cult can only incite the people and better cover up the existence of ghosts, but it is actually not of much use.
When the ghosts below heard this, they immediately became panic-stricken and said, "As you command, I will take you there right away."
Under the guidance of Miyajiki, Teruo Aoki came to a secluded place.
"This place is far from the main temple, and generally no one pays attention to what's going on here. You can stay here without worrying about the believers coming over to disturb you."
"Well, I have a heart."
Teruo Aoki nodded and waved for him to go down.
"Just preach normally tomorrow, and don't come to me until I come to you."
"Good boss."
The ghost also retreated in fear and disappeared in a flash after leaving the door.
He was afraid of making his boss angry, so he waved his hand, and in a flash of green light, he disappeared.
When he was the only one in the room, he calmed down and thought quietly about his next plan.
The Demon Slayer Corps learned a breathing technique, which allowed them to do greater damage to demons. This would have been a good thing, but due to the way the plot is structured, it would have been impossible to kill all the demons during this period.
Maybe we can create some ghosts in the wilderness later to distract the Demon Slayer Corps.
According to the existing information, he is definitely going to die, but we have lived together for hundreds of years and have developed feelings for each other. If he is going to die, should I also leave this world?
Is he still waiting to find his reincarnation? No, no. He has been here for six hundred years, no, he has only been awake for more than a hundred years. So it seems okay?
I don’t know how long I will stay, so I will stay until your fate is over.
Teruo Aoki simply couldn't understand how his master could have lived like this for tens of thousands of years, when it was clear that a hundred years was already a very fulfilling life.
But it was true that time passed faster and faster in his eyes, and he was almost losing his concept of time.
After having wild thoughts in his mind all night, Teruo Aoki slowly closed his eyes and fell into a deep sleep.
The next morning, Teruo Aoki walked out of the church quietly.
Looking at the bustling crowd on the street, it seems that they are all going to the market.
He decided to go to the clinic to inspect the work.
If I remember correctly, Tamayo should be here too. She goes to the clinic to work as a doctor every once in a while.
Moving forward, Teruo Aoki soon arrived in front of a medical clinic.
At the door, he saw Zhu Shi who was taking someone's pulse. He went in and waited for a while. He got up only after the doctor left.
And Tamayo over there also noticed him, "Boss, why are you here?"
"I'm here to take a look. By the way, I heard there are a lot of dead bodies on the battlefield. Contact some ghosts to collect the bodies."
"Okay, boss. This is the store's revenue in recent years."
Of course, Tamayo knew the purpose of Aoki Terusei's coming here, so she took out the clinic's account book.
She knew very well what kind of person this boss was. He was a money-grubber who could spend a lot of money but could not earn less. He even controlled the food for the ghosts.
There are two account books, a normal version and a ghost version.
Mr. Teruo Aoki flipped through the normal version above and nodded secretly in his heart after reading it.
Opening the ghost version of the account book, there is a bunch of densely packed words. In general, the income is XX liters of rare blood, XX buckets of ordinary blood, and XX kilograms of food.
Because these things would be shipped back to the headquarters every once in a while, the recorded income was not much. In addition, it was not possible to collect blood every day, so I had to find a reason every once in a while, so the things recorded were even less.
As for the reasons, there are many, such as XX town has a new disease and needs blood to study the disease... and so on.
Although the clinic earns a lot, it also spends a lot because all the money is used to sell blood. Otherwise, who would be willing to let you bleed for free? Although it is the Warring States Period now, we cannot tolerate the behavior of ghosts.
To those who were not sick, the clinic told them that a large amount of blood was needed for research, but they hoped that people would not spread the word, as this was a secret research. The buying and selling of blood also indirectly saved some poor people.
So the clinic has a good reputation here.
"Boss, someone is coming. I'll go check it out."
Tamayo said to Teruo Aoki, who was concentrating on the account book.
Then, she walked up to the customer and asked, "What can I do for you?"
"You... forget it, are you still collecting blood here?" The man looked at Zhu Shi strangely, then changed the subject as if he remembered something.
"Of course, our clinic is willing to purchase blood at a high price in order to study and eradicate the disease in a small town not far to the north."
"Then buy one liter first, how is it calculated?"
"A liter is fifty pence now."
The man nodded and said "hmm" in agreement.
"Here, one bowl is one liter," Tamayo explained.
Tamayo led his men to the back of the tent, took out a knife to disinfect it, put the bowl of blood in place, and began to draw blood from the man's arm.
After taking one liter of blood, Zhu Shi helped the man bandage the wound and gave him fifty cents.
When the man left at last, he had a strange look in his eyes, which made Tamayo a little confused about the situation.
Tamayo touched her cold back and had a bad feeling.
……
The man selling blood quickly walked out of the clinic and came to the alley in the distance.
"How is it? Have you found out?"
There were already two people waiting in the alley.
"I have figured it all out, but... Sir, look at this one hundred coins that we agreed on..."
One of them looked at the man coldly and threw out a cloth bag, "Tell the truth."
"Yes... yes, that clinic does accept blood, and the doctor also has black hair and purple eyes..."
The man talked about a lot of news he had seen, and finally left after being warned by the two men.
Another young man slowly spoke to another person, "Brother, what do you think?"
"Well, of course we go in and kill them."
