Reincarnation as Lower Rank Five in Demon Slayer

In the darkness, in the courtyard of Tenyi Moka, Li Lei and Tenyi Moka stood facing each other under the wisteria tree.

"Tired! Are you leaving already?"

Ten'i Moka asked Li Lei in front of her with a somewhat somber mood.

"Yes, sister! I have something very important to do. I might have to leave for a few days!"

Li Lei looked at the girl in front of him, who was about the same age as him, and said calmly.

"You're a ghost now, what important things could you possibly have to do?"

Ten'i Moka asked, puzzled.

When asked, Li Lei looked at Tianyi Mengxiang and remained silent.

"Can we not leave? I'm tired—"

Ten'i Moka stepped forward, hugged Li Lei, and whispered in his ear.

"It's alright, sister. I'll be back! You have to believe in my abilities!"

After a long silence, Li Lei finally spoke to Tianyi Mengxiang.

"I swear to God!"

Ten'i Moka looked up at Li Lei and said.

"I, Li Lei, swear to the heavens! If I fail to keep my promise to my sister, Tianyi Mengxiang, to return, I will be struck by the sun in the sky..."

Just as Li Lei was about to utter the last two words, "sunburnt to death," Tianyi Mengxiang instantly covered his mouth with her hand.

"You're tired! I believe in you! But you must be careful!"

After saying that, Ten'i Moka withdrew her hand that had been covering Li Lei's mouth.

"Don't worry, sister, I'll be back soon!"

After saying his last words to Tianyi Mengxiang, Li Lei pushed off with both feet and flew out of the courtyard in an instant.

Upon arriving outside the courtyard, Li Lei quickly ran towards the edge of the town.

A short while later, Li Lei left the town and disappeared into the forest outside the town.

In the wisteria-covered courtyard, Tianyi Meng stood there blankly, watching Li Lei leave. A sense of emptiness and loneliness welled up within her.

"I'm exhausted! Now it's just me again!"

Will he come back when he's tired?

"I'm talking to myself in the courtyard."

……

A few nights later... in a dense forest, on a tree trunk, Li Lei had bound a demon with silk threads. The demon wasn't particularly strong, as Li Lei had easily captured it in a couple of moves.

So why did Li Lei capture this ghost? Here's what happened: After emerging from the ghost and preparing for a bloody battle, Li Lei discovered something very important!

That is—he didn't know how he found Muzan Kibutsuji.

Yes, Li Lei was unable to directly transmit information to Muzan Kibutsuji because his body underwent some unknown changes when he first transmigrated.

This prevented Muzan Kibutsuji from reading Li Lei's thoughts or seeing what Li Lei was seeing, unlike he could with other demons. Muzan Kibutsuji believed this was due to a mutation in Li Lei's constitution.

Li Lei looked at the evil spirit he had bound and gagged, walked to its opposite side, and opened his mouth to say:

"Lord Muzan, can you see this? Rui needs to speak with you! Rui wants to engage in a bloody battle of positional exchange."

Yes, Li Lei couldn't directly contact Muzan Kibutsuji, but that didn't stop him. He might not be able to contact Muzan, but other demons could!

If we just catch a demon and make a one-way video call to tell Muzan our location, wouldn't that be enough? (???)

Li Lei stood before the demon, awaiting Muzan's summons.

Time passed by minute by minute.

Half an hour later...

Li Lei sat opposite the evil spirit he had bound. Looking at the evil spirit before him, he thought to himself:

"Is it not possible? Can't Muzan see what all the demons see? Or is it because this demon is too weak, and the image can't be transmitted?"

Suddenly, just as Li Lei's mind was wandering, he felt a void beneath him.

It turned out that the area beneath Li Lei's body had suddenly transformed into an open door; this was Nakime's Blood Demon Art.

Li Lei, who was lost in thought, fell straight down.

Li Lei, who felt his body falling, was startled by this scene.

Coming to his senses, Li Lei realized that this was Nakime's Blood Demon Art and thought to himself, "Nakime, I'll remember you!"

Li Lei then entered the Infinite City by falling directly.
