Across from her, Ryan, a hacker who once belonged to the same organization as her, was holding a cup of coffee.
The location was in an open-air cafe in Guangying Plaza. Because she couldn't find Yao Jiayin, Evelyn had to contact her former colleagues.
"Well, although we're not sure where the young lady is and she won't tell us, she's safe."
"Then I have nothing to do." Ryan closed the laptop in front of him, "Goodbye."
“Are you busy?” Evelin asked subconsciously, “I see you haven’t had a good rest for a long time.”
"Your dark circles aren't much lighter than mine." Ryan yawned. "I've just been following up on something lately—there's been some strange... weird rumors coming out of the Lymnian Hollow lately?"
"Strange story?" Evelin was a little concerned.
The Lemnian Hollow is located in Chenghuiping, and the place where Yao Jiayin disappeared happens to be the highway leading to Chenghuiping.
"Some people claim to have seen ghosts from outside the world in the void. Others claim to have seen visions of another world through the void, with swords, magic, treasure chest monsters, and everything in between. It's like a game. We're still investigating the details. If you're interested in helping out, I think your abilities would make things much easier for me."
"No."
Evelin shook her head in refusal.
"Now I just want to be a good agent and bodyguard for the lady."
"Heh..." Ryan laughed in an ambiguous tone, "You're really different from before."
After watching Ryan leave, Evelyn glanced at the phone on the table in confusion.
"Really? Miss, you didn't even tell me where you are."
Shaking her head, Evelin also stood up and decided to return to Digao Music first.
Not long after, she returned to Digao and found that people around her looked at her strangely.
"What happened?" Evelin asked in a low voice, grabbing a young employee who was passing by hurriedly.
The employee girl carefully looked around, and finally leaned over to Evelin’s ear and whispered, “Sister Evelin, don’t you know yet?”
"what do you know?"
"Just now." The young employee pointed upwards. "Ms. Vivian Banxijiang, the CEO of Silver Crown Star Ring, sent someone over here to poach Yao Jiayin from us. Although the wolf Xiren they sent seemed kind, they were actually very tough and the price they offered was frighteningly high... Sister Evelin, our Imperial High School might have lost its mainstay!"
"There's a rumor going around that the mysterious person behind the Silver Crown might have set his sights on our pillar!"
Evelyn: “——!!!!”
……Dividing line……
Ophiuchus Starport, inside an ecological dome.
"No way? How long has it been?!"
Because he found that he could also connect to the New Elido network through his mobile phone in the Star Harbor, Yao Jiayin browsed various websites and forums for a while after ending the call with Evelyn.
As a result, it didn't take long for the singer to look unhappy.
"Why are there rumors online saying that I'm being kept by the big boss behind Silver Crown!?"
"Interesting." Jiang Lianqiu, sitting across from you, guessed what had happened the moment he heard it. "Since we're destined to lose our popular pillar, we might as well discredit you while collecting the liquidated damages. This will prevent you from losing market share due to a lack of competitiveness when you move to another company."
"That's too much!" Yao Jiayin slammed the table, and the wonderful drink in the cup that was glowing with starlight splashed out due to the vibration.
But after complaining, she could only sigh helplessly: "Hey, Capital! You win!"
"Who said it won?" Jiang Lianqiu sneered, "If you play these tricks with me, no matter if it's within the rules or outside the rules, I can beat it to death."
"Discrediting rival artists?" Yao Jiayin instantly thought of this idea. "Wouldn't that be a bad idea?"
"Targeting innocent artists is shameful." Jiang Lianqiu shook his head. "Can't they just take turns checking fire protection, taxation, and business licenses? If they follow up with a series of attacks, and then suspend operations for rectification, and then find some plausible excuse to administratively suspend all operations, guess what will become of Digao Music?"
"This is just a method within the rules. If it doesn't seem a bit like bullying, there's no need for it. I can just replace the senior people with my side."
Yao Jiayin: “…”
Can't be bothered.
You are the capital!
It’s still alien capital!
"Ah! Eve called me again! I guess I have to go back and explain everything to her first~"
Looking at the phone ringing again, Yao Jiayin stuck out his tongue.
"Then I'll be leaving first. See you later - my future boss~"
Yao Jiayin stood up with his bag and left humming a new song he had just learned from Jiang Lianqiu, leaving behind only a fragrant breeze.
"Even if thousands of songs in the future float on my distant road. Even if thousands of stars in the future shine brighter than the moon tonight..."
Jiang Lianqiu hummed a few words with satisfaction.
As expected, Yao Jiayin is very suitable for singing this song in Cantonese.
Although Yixuan had sung for him privately at his request, the song was different when sung by a professional singer.
……Dividing line……
"Even if thousands of songs are written in the future, they will float along my distant road..."
Listening to the song her sister sang, Kocho Ninja asked curiously, "Sister, what song is this?"
"That's what Miss Jiayin sang." Butterfly Kanae stopped humming, "And it was Qiu Jun who taught her."
"Oh……"
Shinobu Kocho lowered her head dejectedly and casually kicked the stones at her feet away.
It was already daytime the next day, and the group was on their way back to the Butterfly House.
Because of the addition of the Kamado family, the movement was slow, and it would probably take several days to get back to the Butterfly House.
Noticing her sister was in a bad mood, Kocho Kanae pulled her to her side and asked, "What's wrong?"
"I'm just a little curious." Shinobu Kocho's eyes were filled with confusion. "Even though I've heard so much from my sister, I still can't imagine what kind of world that is."
And... she felt that her sister was getting further and further away from her.
"You're overthinking it!" Butterfly Kanae knocked on Butterfly Shinobu's head, "Don't worry."
"What are you worried about?"
"Don't worry, Yu-Jun Qiu likes Shinobu too!" Kanae Kocho covered her mouth and laughed.
"Who, who wants him to like her!" Shinobu Kocho blushed and retorted.
"Okay, hurry up and try to reach the town ahead before dark."
Looking at the setting sun, Butterfly Kanae gave a warning.
This world is very dangerous after dark.
Although Muzan Kibutsuji was scared away by her last night, he will definitely not give up, especially after hearing the name of Yoriichi Tsugakuni. Even Kanae Kocho herself doesn't believe that he won't come to test her again.
In fact, this is exactly the case.
In the end, the group failed to reach the town before dark and their way was blocked by evil spirits.
That is a huge ghost army that includes almost all the lower-level evil spirits and a large number of even lower-level evil spirits!
Wow, this scumbag boss really spent a lot of money.
In Butterfly Kanae's mind, Jiang Lianqiu whistled.
This is a good opportunity to eliminate all the lower rank demons at once.
Chapter 376: It's Qiu Jun who makes me so excited
Muzan Kibutsuji is definitely the most despicable among all the villain bosses.
He became a ghost in the Heian period, and from the beginning he didn't think that anyone in this world was qualified to be on par with him. However, while he thought highly of himself, he was extremely bullying and afraid of the strong. When faced with someone who could pose a threat to him - even if it was only theoretically or even speculatively - he would rather hide and rely on his immortality to outlive the other party, rather than choose to attack head-on and take the initiative to eliminate the hidden dangers.
If it weren't for the fact that searching for the blue red spider lily would require a huge amount of manpower and resources, and he alone was not capable of doing it, given Muzan Kibutsuji's twisted personality, he would not have the slightest interest in creating a group of subordinates for himself.
In addition to his high self-esteem, he is also suspicious by nature, so he imposes many restrictions on the ghosts, preventing them from saying his name in the absence of him. He also leaves cells controlled by him in the bodies of all evil ghosts to ensure that he can take their lives at any time.
What's even more ridiculous is that in the past, when humans were weak, Muzan Kibutsuji was worried that the so-called priests, shrine maidens and human leaders possessed some power that he didn't know about, so he never launched a large-scale infiltration of the human ruling class.
Now, mankind has entered a modern society. Seeing that a world war is about to come, modern humans with the blessing of airplanes and cannons make Muzan Kibutsuji feel threatened.
——So he actually chose to hide deeper...
Excuse Me! ?
Bush, Gomen, do you want to see what you are doing?
In Jiang Lianqiu's opinion, if Muzan Kibutsuji had controlled a few top human nobles in his earlier years and acted with the help of human power, he might have found the so-called blue spider lily long ago.
But after he became a ghost, he seemed to be completely isolated from human society.
Over the past thousand years, Muzan Kibutsuji has created so many demons that perhaps even he himself cannot remember.
Even though the Demon Slayer Corps has been killing evil demons everywhere since its birth, new demons will continue to appear for various reasons.
As long as the Demon King Muzan Kibutsuji is still around, there will be no evil demons.
As a result, the number of ghosts blocking the way of the Butterfly Sisters and the Kamado family reached an astonishing level.
however--
“Monster… Monster… Monster ahh ...
A figure was currently running away in a panic on the path between the fields.
The sound of breaking air coming from behind him made him not even have the courage to turn around and fight back, because all the ghosts who had the courage to do so were dead.
The fleeing evil spirit felt his body suddenly become lighter and his vision began to spin.
In a trance, he saw a headless corpse falling down and dissolving. It was not until the head hit the ground that the evil ghost vaguely realized that the headless corpse was himself.
"monster……"
In the last moments of his life, the evil ghost, who knew himself to be the monster, murmured, and with his last consciousness he glanced at Hudie Kanae who was slowly sheathing her sword.
"call……!"
The breath exhaled by Butterfly Kanae turned into a white mist in the cool evening breeze.
She glanced back at her sister who was cleaning up the battlefield and nodded with satisfaction.
Except for the Lower Moon Two, Pai Lang, who was killed by Rengoku Kyojuro in the previous battle in Tokyo, all the Lower Moon demons were killed by her sword here.
Also destroyed were at least a hundred ordinary evil spirits.
With such a large number of evil spirits, even if the strongest one is only at the lower level, if they rush over at the same time, I in the past would surely die on the spot.
Even the pillar-level members of the Demon Slayer Corps would be dragged to death if anyone else were to replace them.
After all, human strength has its limits, especially physical strength.
But ghosts have no such restrictions.
"Sister is so powerful now." Shinobu Kocho walked to her sister's side, looked around, and no longer saw any evil spirits.
When she thought of the moment the battle started, and the sword light that swept across the sky and the earth in her sight after her sister drew her sword, and instantly annihilated nearly half of the evil spirits, Shinobu Kocho even suspected that even if Muzan Kibutsuji came in person, he would not be a match for her sister.
It was obvious that her sister had been in a coma for the past four years and had not practiced, but once she woke up, she had become so powerful that she could not understand it at all.
Now, Muzan Kibutsuji probably won’t dare to show up for a while.
He is so focused on hiding that it's hard for you to find him.
After watching Kanae Kocho annihilate the evil ghost, Jiang Lianqiu said helplessly.
Hu Dexiang Nahui couldn't help but stick out her tongue: "It's all because of Qiu Jun. The power you shared with me makes me a little excited..."
The body's recovery and even further improvement allow Butterfly Kanae to withstand more destiny and etheric energy.
At first, Kanae was worried when she found herself and her group surrounded by a large number of evil spirits, but when Jiang Lianqiu gave her remote support, she was like a child who got a new toy, and she kept swinging her knife excitedly.
When I came to my senses, there was only one evil ghost still fleeing.
Watching her sister's back as she walked towards the Kamado family, Shinobu Kocho pursed her lips slightly: "It's like a spirit has possessed her."
