Day in Infinity

But although the data is a bit low, it is different when it comes to actual combat. In the iron jungle, Li Ke's fighting is actually no different from flying.

The buildings in the city are his running blocks and high jump poles.

Li Ke quickly arrived at the bell tower, blocked Mai Shiranui, and then rang the bell.

The sound of the bell was so clear in this silent city that everyone in the city could hear it.

This was not the later city. The city in front of Li Ke had a small protrusion. He could even see the whole city easily from the bell tower. That was why he could easily tell that this was a Japanese country.

The appearance of the bell immediately made the zombies in the city boil. Just like in 7 Days to Die, although some zombies were not attracted by the bell, they were attracted by the sounds of other zombies' movements.

They gathered here madly, and then gathered under the bell tower.

Li Ke looked at the densely packed zombies and moved his body again. His vital energy, or magic power, was working in his body. The temperature in the air was drawn out and flames formed around him.

The flame formed a jet in his hand, and the scorching temperature instantly ignited the fat and clothes on the zombies below. Although the zombies that were still able to move were not very easy to burn, with the help of Li Ke's continuous output of flames, the flames quickly began to spread among the gathered zombies, and the smell of burnt meat was everywhere.

Li Ke, who was using the "Observation Haki", also discovered that there were indeed some survivors in the city. After they found that the zombies on the streets had been lured out by him, some of them ran out of their houses directly, rushed towards nearby shops and started snatching food.

But even with these people, there were not many in number. But even so, Li Ke saw those people fighting with each other, and even killing each other.

This made him lose interest in staying here in an instant.

"Tsk, it's like the end of the world. Never mind, let's go ask."

The flame in his hand turned into a more physically demanding dragon fire. Although it was not difficult to deal with these small fish, it was indeed a physical job. After Li Ke burned most of the zombies to ashes, he carried Mai Shiranui to a place where there were people before and opened the door directly.

"Hey, can someone tell me what's going on here?"

Because there is indeed a derivative relationship between words, Li Ke learns Japanese much faster than English, so the man in the room can still understand his questions.

And under his coercion, Li Ke finally understood what happened here.

The matter was very simple. Ghost legends had always been circulating in this world, but not many people took them seriously. They all treated them as jokes to scare children, but they also respected the swordsmen wearing swords and wisteria flowers.

But one day, suddenly, a large group of unconscious people appeared on this land. These monsters were very strange. There were people wearing white clothes who could summon monsters out of thin air, there were also women without clothes with countless strange tentacles on their backs, and there were also hounds with huge bodies.

Especially those women and hounds, people would feel uncomfortable even if they saw them from a distance, and people who saw them for a long time would even go crazy. Women could release a strange light to shoot enemies, and even spread granulation, causing strange mucus to emerge from the bodies of those hit, causing the bodies to break apart and die.

The hounds have extremely poisonous saliva that can turn a person into pus if they touch it!

Moreover, these things are invulnerable to swords and guns. No matter how powerful a warrior is, when facing these monsters, he is no different from an ordinary person.

These things directly destroyed the army here, leaving only those who closed their doors and windows and ignored the monsters to survive. Those monsters left here at some point and went somewhere, leaving only these ordinary zombies.

"It sounds a lot like something from the Cthulhu mythology... but in the end, it's just some ghosts and monsters."

Li Ke touched his chin and summarized the information he had obtained.

From the current perspective, it is very much in the style of Cthulhu. Although Li Ke hates the Cthulhu imp, after all, Cthulhu itself is also a stitched myth, which is blown up to the sky and cannot be looked at directly, and it is reflected in the myths of various countries.

Even in a patchwork like the Bible, there are a large number of angels that "cannot be looked at directly". They are essentially people of high dimensions who cannot be observed and understood by ordinary people.

The essence of Cthulhu mythology is to satirize those who use narrow knowledge and thinking to fix and identify the universe and the world, and do not believe that there is something in this world that they do not know.

In essence, it means that people should have awe of the unknown and face these things with a learning and research mentality, rather than stubbornly believing that these things are wrong if they are not within their own cognition.

But it has to be said that although the later performance of Cthulhu mythology is just bragging and completely deviates from orthodoxy, it is still very appropriate to describe these monsters as Cthulhu monsters.

"Um, sir, are you from the Demon Slayer Corps?"

Just as Li Ke was thinking, the refugee in front of him looked at the plump, even 'fat and tender' Mai Shiranui in Li Ke's arms, and couldn't help swallowing his saliva.

"No."

Li Ke answered casually, but immediately, the man pointed his trembling hand behind Li Ke.

"monster!"

Li Ke turned his head quickly, and the next moment, the man he was questioning raised the kitchen knife in his hand towards him.

Blood splattered, and a big head flew up with a look of surprise on its face.

Of course, this was not Li Ke's head. Li Ke walked away holding Mai Shiranui without looking back, and the head of the man he questioned fell to the ground, and the disbelief in his eyes gradually turned into horror.

How could Li Ke not be on guard against someone who looked directly at the follower of Cthulhu?

"So, this is the world of Demon Slayer? Then the disaster here should be the disaster caused by the fragments of the world of Seven Days to Die, right?"

He wasn't sure, but he knew...

"Looks like I have to play the role of savior."

Chapter 169: Pillar Destroyer Blade

Li Ke refused this kind of role because being a savior is a very troublesome job.

But sometimes, you just have to play a cameo role like this.

"I wonder what's happening with the Demon Slayers in this world. Are they all dead?"

As he walked out of the city, Li Ke was thinking about this matter.

He hasn't watched much of this anime series, but he knows the general plot through fan fiction.

The story is about a thousand years ago, a guy with a very eccentric name, Muzan, fell ill and was given a miraculous medicine by a doctor. However, due to the side effects, the guy did not finish the course of the medicine and thought the doctor was tricking him. So he killed the doctor in anger and later regretted it. It was a medical dispute.

Then this person found that he had superpowers. His blood could create "evil ghosts" that obeyed him completely, had super strong recovery and infinite lifespan, and had power beyond that of humans. But both he and the evil ghosts needed to eat people to maintain their lives and gain stronger power.

And they can only die by being exposed to sunlight, or by wisteria flowers, or by having their heads chopped off with a weapon made of a special mineral.

So he spread the blood wantonly to find the last medicinal ingredient, which was the blue spider lily that was eaten as pickles by the family of Tanjiro, the protagonist of Demon Slayer.

After that, his actions naturally led to the emergence of people who hunted evil spirits, and the Demon Slayer Corps also appeared. Then a genius named Yoriichi Tsugakuni appeared. This genius not only created a breathing method, but also attacked him when he thought he was invincible, and beat him so hard that he had to split into countless pieces of meat before running away. Then this person was left with a psychological trauma, and he changed his previous style and became a lurker.

Then, the feud between the Demon Slayer Corps and Muzan has continued to this day, and the Demon Slayer Corps has also continued to this day, hiding in the dark to deal with demons... until Muzan found trouble and killed the protagonist Tanjiro's family, completely ending Muzan's reincarnation.

Therefore, it can be said that most, or even the vast majority, of the Demon Slayer Corps are good people, and at present, "demons" are everywhere, and it is time for these people to show their skills.

After all, no matter how you look at it, those people in the Demon Slayer Corps must have some connection with the official, otherwise how could the Ubuyashiki clan have such great privileges? It's just that these people are obviously not recognized by the official. After all, no matter how you look at it, ghosts that can give people immortality are not something that the Ubuyashiki clan can stop.

Moreover, since there can be people like Muzan in this world, Li Ke can accept that there really are so-called immortal people in this world.

After all, there really is a hell in this world...

"But if there is an underworld, then there should be gods. Then why is there no one to deal with these monsters? And no gods have come down to deal with Muzan? But for now, Muzan will not be a big problem."

Li Ke was also very curious about this.

Although there are many wild gods in Japan, it is still a civilization after all, and there are still gods that are worshipped properly, whether they are the gods of Shintoism or regular Buddhist temples. There is no shortage of talents like magicians.

"interesting……"

Li Ke walked on the road and began to search for the remaining zombies in the city.

But unfortunately, even if he killed all the zombies here, he still couldn't sense the existence of the world fragments. These ashes did not turn into world fragments and enter his hands as in the MC world. It seemed that he had to kill the monsters that were described as Cthulhu in order to obtain the world fragments of this world.

Relying on his own strength, Li Ke walked towards the direction of the monsters without hesitation, and along the way he used his "Observation Haki" to ensure that he would not be ambushed by any strange creatures.

Even Mai Shiranui was tied to her back with a rope so that she could move better. His giant sword was also tied under Mai Shiranui's buttocks so that she would not be too uncomfortable.

Moreover, Mai Shiranui behind him was soft. When he walked, he could not only smell her fragrance, but also feel her softness swaying behind him as he walked, which made him quite satisfied.

Although I can’t do some things for the time being, it still feels pretty good.

Li Ke walked quickly along the road and soon saw a village.

Under the moonlight, the village with twinkling lights revealed a warm feeling. Not only that, a faint smell of meat also appeared in Li Ke's nose.

From afar, a bonfire was burning in the center of the village, and faint sounds of wonderful singing could be heard, which seemed quite warm in the dark night.

For a moment, Li Ke wanted to know what smelled so good, but the next moment, he took out Huazhou without hesitation.

Because there is a human smell in the aroma of meat!

Without any hesitation, Li Ke rushed into the village. The next moment, he saw countless villagers laughing and eating food in a big pot. Li Ke saw with his own eyes that there were human heads in the pot.

But the villagers were laughing wildly.

Li Ke did not feel afraid. The moment he sensed the situation here, he no longer considered the people here as human beings.

The moment he rushed over, the villagers looked at him with wild laughter, stretched out their hands, showed the food in their hands to Li Ke, and made a sincere invitation.

"Would you like to eat it? It's delicious! Or come and make our food!"

As they spoke, tentacles grew out of their backs, waving their claws and fangs behind them. Li Ke took a deep breath, and flames wrapped around his body. The flames under the big pots where the villagers were cooking food also suddenly rose higher.

There was no name for the move, but the flames quickly wrapped around Li Ke's Huazhou. Li Ke did not use dragon fire, but wanted to see how much power these so-called Cthulhu monsters could withstand!

The flames turned into jets and quickly swept over the monsters, and Li Ke's knife directly chopped the villager who stretched out his hand.

But the moment his knife chopped the villager, the villager's skin suddenly exploded, and countless flesh and blood rushed towards Li Ke. A monster full of wriggling tentacles emerged from his body and pounced towards Li Ke.

In Li Ke's perception, there were countless evil intentions hidden in these flesh and blood. He quickly called for fire, and the next moment, dragon fire appeared, completely vaporizing the flesh and blood in front of him.

And his flaming sword cut the tentacle monster's body into two in an instant.

The monster, which was split into two parts, let out a shrill cry and disappeared directly into smoke in mid-air. Li Ke also roughly understood the defensive power of this monster.

It can't defend against 7.62 caliber bullets, and even a sharp knife can't defend against it.

At this moment, the flames he controlled quickly wrapped around the villagers, but they had no expression and kept on making miserably loud wails. Especially when the tentacles behind them were wrapped in flames, their bodies would explode in an instant and turn into a blood mist that filled the sky.

The monsters that came out of their bodies would lose the ability to move in the flames of only a few hundred degrees, wailing as they were burned into black smoke.

Soon, under Li Ke's perception of "Observation Haki", there were no more monsters around him.

"So these are the monsters that person mentioned, the ones that would come out of the body?"

Li Ke looked at the smoke dissipating all over the ground. He could feel that the smoke was transforming into a strange power.

So, he subconsciously stretched out his hand.

The next moment, countless golden spots of light emerged from the black smoke and gradually gathered in his hands. The physical strength he had consumed was recovering rapidly, making his spirit quite excited.

At the moment when the black air around him completely dissipated, Li Ke's "Observation Haki" became dazed for a moment, and some translucent figures suddenly appeared in front of Li Ke. Their faces were exactly the same as those villagers he had seen before, and there were even villagers he had never seen before.

The villagers nodded to Li Ke to express their gratitude, or bowed and knelt, and then disappeared under the shining of the golden light in his hands.

"There are actually ghosts in this world..."

Li Ke couldn't help but be amazed when he saw this scene. He had only guessed before, but now after seeing it, he really had a different feeling.

It felt strange to see a dead person with your own eyes, but Li Ke had nothing to be afraid of.

The golden light did not form the power of the world in his hand, but attached to his right hand, forming a strange pattern, which slightly increased his physical strength. However, Li Ke could feel the faint breath of the power of the world in the golden imprint, and also had an inexplicable feeling.

That is to gather enough world power, then the golden pattern will separate from his body and become fragments of the world.

Therefore, Li Ke knew very well that the power added to him by these patterns was only temporary. Once the world power contained in them condensed into world fragments, these bonuses would naturally disappear.

"Can the power of the world be used in this way? Interesting, but unfortunately I can't control this power yet."

Li Ke looked at the golden lines on his hands. These lines extended in a streamlined shape on his arms. They looked quite beautiful. And under the influence of Li Ke's mind, the patterns quickly disappeared and no longer appeared on his body.

After shaking his hands, Li Ke planned to set off again. Since killing these monsters could "upgrade" and restore health, this mission would not be too difficult.

His flames can easily kill most of the small fish and can easily deal with the dangers here.

However, just as he set fire to everything in the village and was about to leave, he saw a number of people emerging from the city where he had descended on the road.

Each of these people rode a horse and carried a sword, with wisteria flower patterns on their bodies. And from Li Ke's perception, these people had a long breath, and their bodies and bones were very dense.

"warrior?"

Li Ke stopped and looked at the people on horseback. These people on horseback also saw the fire in the village and rushed directly towards here.

The moment they saw Li Ke, they hesitated for a moment, then stopped their horses and looked at Li Ke.

Li Ke could see their faces clearly. The leader was a cheerful-looking man. He was a little shorter than Li Ke, but compared with Li Ke, no one here could be said to be short. The man with flaming golden and red hair was already considered tall.

"Brother, is it you who set the fire here?"

Looking at the tall Li Ke carrying a woman on his back, the man couldn't help but look at Li Ke a few more times, because Li Ke was taller than a friend he knew, and the muscle lines revealed on his clothes gave the onlookers a shocking feeling of power.

"Yes, there are monsters here, so I solved the problem here and cremated everyone here. But judging from your appearance, you are called the Demon Slayer Corps, right?"

Li Ke carefully used his 'Observation Haki' to sense the people in front of him, but was surprised to find that these people also had a faint breath of world power. Although it was very faint, it did exist.

The blond man looked at Li Ke. He felt that what Li Ke said was true, and there was a clear aura about Li Ke, and it didn't sound like he was lying at all. The most important thing was that he felt Li Ke was very friendly, as if he had met other members of the Demon Slayer Corps.

So he looked at Li Ke and smiled.

"We are indeed the Demon Slayer Corps. Since you said that you killed all the monsters here, then you must not be a monster? Then do you mind getting to know each other? My name is Rengoku Kyojuro, and I am the Flame Pillar of the Demon Slayer Corps. I am glad to see someone who can fight these monsters like us, so can you tell me your name and where you are going?"

Li Ke guessed correctly, these people were members of the Demon Slayer Corps, and a team led by a pillar. However, just as Li Ke treated them with caution, Rengoku Kyojuro also treated Li Ke with caution, because they had encountered enough monsters.
