Glancing at the three laughing and noisy people, Jiang Lianqiu asked the researcher beside him, "So, you've confirmed that there's a constantly changing, wandering alien object in the core of the sun?"

"Yes, Commander." The researcher raised his hand and pointed at the observation window in front of him. The fully transparent window immediately turned into a screen, showing a simulated image of the sun.

Jiang Lianqiu could see that inside the sun on the screen, there was a small black dot moving in uniform circular motion along a circular trajectory around the geometric center of the sun.

"This is a spherical foreign body with a diameter of 200 kilometers. Compared with the diameter of the sun, which is 139 million kilometers, this size is completely negligible, so it has no effect on the star's self-fusion reaction."

"The alien energy mixed into the sunlight is emitted by it."

"After analysis by Master Von Neumeow and Master Heita, it was determined to be a special type of energy that cannot even be supported by mathematical formulas. Its existence completely violates the Second Law of Thermodynamics and is incompatible with any existing established rules. The most obvious sign is its anti-entropy effect."

"But both Master Feng Neumeow and Master Heita believe that all energy must have a source. It's impossible for sourceless energy to be created out of thin air."

"Could it be the psychic energy leaked from the Void Realm?" Jiang Lianqiu shook his head after saying this, "No, it's not. I'm very familiar with psychic energy. It's not that."

"The theory of virtual realm psychic energy has long been ruled out." The researcher also denied Jiang Lianqiu's speculation. "To understand what's going on, we need to delve deeper. However, this alien object is surrounded by a mathematically constructed imaginary barrier. Although we can break through it violently with our current methods, Lord von Neumao is worried that this will damage its internal structure. Therefore, he plans to use a more gentle method to remove its external blockade."

"Unlocking a combination lock, I know." Jiang Lianqiu nodded. "How long will it take?"

"In three days at most, we will be able to crack this imaginary number code."

In other words, in three days he will know the biggest secret of the world.

"well done."

After receiving Jiang Lianqiu's praise, the researcher opened the heat dissipation vents around his body on the spot, and a large amount of white waves came out with a puff.

He was overwhelmed with excitement...

"I was just praising you, there's no need to react so strongly." Jiang Lianqiu waved his hand to dissipate the heat around him. "If you keep doing this, I can't scold you next time when you've clearly done something meritorious, can I?"

"Please do this! Commander!!!"

“This is my lifelong request!!!!!”

The robot researcher bowed ninety degrees and requested loudly, his excitement so great that the heat waves emitted by the overload became even greater.

Jiang Lianqiu was desperate.

He began to doubt whether there was really not a single normal person left among his men...

Shaking his head, Jiang Lianqiu turned and walked towards Butterfly Kanae and the other two.

"Let's go, go back."

"Are you done?" Kanae asked softly.

"Almost. Just wait another three days and we'll figure things out. During these three days, I'll wipe out all the ghosts in your world."

The demons that the Demon Slayer Corps had spent thousands of years and countless lives to completely eliminate were, in Jiang Lianqiu's words, just minor scabies that could be easily solved within three days.

"Is that so?" Kocho Kanae smiled gently, nodded, and held Jiang Lianqiu's hand. "Other evil spirits are fine, but as for Muzan Kibutsuji, can you leave it to us in the end?"

"Every one of us has a blood feud with the demons, and the source of all this is Muzan Kibutsuji. We want to resolve this source of hatred ourselves."

"No problem." Jiang Lianqiu didn't care.

"But isn't Muzan Kibutsuji hiding? If he keeps hiding, how can we find him?"

Mitsuri Kanroji asked in confusion.

"There's only one place he can hide." Jiang Lianqiu pointed out the whereabouts of Muzan Kibutsuji. "That's Infinite City, a different dimension created using blood demon magic."

"Honestly, if he was hiding somewhere in the real world like a rat in a gutter, I'd still have a headache finding him. But hiding in another dimension—that's hilarious. If we conduct a global spatial scan, any anomalies in that space will be discovered immediately."

"Let's go. Aoi Kanzaki has just brought the Demon Slayer Corps to Chouya Mountain."

Chapter 401: I almost forgot there was still a group of insects to clean up

Butterfly House, living room.

Or rather, it should be called a living room.

At least in the eyes of several pillars, they were not used to the environment here.

Unlike the low traditional Japanese buildings, although the original style is retained, the Butterfly House, after being completely renovated, is full of things that they can't understand at all.

He was not kneeling but sitting on a chair. As soon as Ubuyashiki Kōya placed the teacup on the table beside him, a Bomb flew over to add more tea.

"Excuse me, when did that gentleman--"

"Tianyuan, be patient."

"Yes! My Lord!"

Uzui Tengen flashed over and knelt on one knee in front of Ubuyashiki Kyouya.

"Go back and sit down."

Not long after Uzui Tengen sat down again, Lina floated out from behind the screen without touching the ground.

"Sorry to have kept you waiting. My master has arrived."

Everyone immediately straightened their faces.

Jiang Lianqiu walked out from behind the screen with the Butterfly Sisters and Mitsuri Ganlu Temple.

"Sorry, I was delayed for a while because of something."

As soon as he sat down, Jiang Lianqiu nodded to Ubuyashiki Yoya.

"Your Excellency is very busy, and we haven't been waiting long. It is a great honor for the entire Demon Slayer Corps that you are willing to take the time to meet with us."

This is indeed a person who speaks very softly, and his voice alone can make people feel good about him.

Among all the lords of the Demon Slayer Corps, Ubuyashiki Kōya may not be the most outstanding one, but he is definitely one of the top ones.

Glancing at the hideous, spider-web-like veins on his face and his lifeless eyes, Jiang Lianqiu shook his head and said, "Thanks to the curse brought by Muzan Kibutsuji, it's a shame you're still alive."

"Because I have children that I'm worried about." Ubuyashiki Kazuya smiled indifferently.

"Namo Amitabha..." Beimingyu Xingming clasped his hands together and tears streamed down his face as he chanted the Buddha's name.

"Curse!?" Iguro Obanai, who was relatively young among the pillars, turned around and looked at Ubuyashiki Kōya in surprise.

"It's like a joke played by the gods." Ubuyashiki Kōya didn't hide anything and told the story, "After Muzan Kibutsuji became the Demon Queen a thousand years ago, the entire Ubuyashiki clan was cursed. Every generation of the family head has had a short life. I've lived until now, which is considered a long life... cough cough cough!"

"Why did the curse befall the lord?" Iguro Obana couldn't understand.

Ubuyashiki Kyouya sighed, a look of sorrow on his face: "Because when Muzan Kibutsuji was still a human, his last name was Ubuyashiki."

“““——!!!!”””

In the silence, Ubuyashiki Yoya stood up and bowed to Jiang Lianqiu:

"It is very presumptuous to make such a request, but I hope that Mr. Jiang can take over from me, the lord, and lead the entire Demon Slayer Corps."

One bomb followed another, and the voices of opposition from many pillars rose to their throats, but they were swallowed down.

The Butterfly Sisters and Mitsuri Kanroji looked over expectantly.

Although they have withdrawn from the Demon Slayer Corps, they have worked together for many years after all, and they hope to see the Demon Slayer Corps led by Jiang Lianqiu in the future.

"If you're worried about Muzan Kibutsuji, there's no need to worry. Even without you, Muzan Kibutsuji would have died within three days. My people are currently clearing out the evil spirits in this world. You should have noticed that the number of evil spirit attacks has been decreasing dramatically during this period."

The fact that others were unwilling to accept something he had offered made Ubuyashiki Kōya a little discouraged, but the reason he wanted to do this was not because of Muzan Kibutsuji.

Shaking the picture, Ubuyashiki Yoya explained: "After listening to the explanations of Kanae, Mitsuri, and Shinobu, I have already seen a bright future where Muzan Kibutsuji is eliminated."

"However, the children of the Demon Slayer Corps all have a blood feud with demons, and everything they learn and do is for the purpose of slaying evil demons."

"I believe Mr. Jiang can accomplish the great feat of eradicating the evil spirits from this world, but once the evil spirits are gone, where should the children go? This is also a question that I, as their lord, must consider for them."

"Those who joined in the middle of the journey can return to their ordinary lives and live a peaceful and ordinary life, but those who have been training and practicing to slay evil spirits since childhood can no longer return."

"What's more... once the demons are gone, Tokyo..."

"If you hadn't told me, I would have almost forgotten about those guys."

Jiang Lianqiu laughed meaningfully.

I don’t know if it was an illusion, but everyone in the room suddenly felt the temperature was a little chilly.

The Tokyo that Ubuyashiki Yoya mentioned was naturally referring to Emperor Taisho who is now in the Imperial Palace and the current group of high-ranking officials.

During this period, Japan's high-level structure was in a process of declining democratic constitutional forces and the continuous accumulation of militarism.

And the era name after Taisho, that's a name that makes people feel sick just by hearing it...

By then, the Japanese will also be doomed to go down the deadly road of militarism and never return.

Previously, his attention was focused on the evil spirits and the sun of this world. Now, after being reminded by Ubuyashiki Yoya, Jiang Lianqiu remembered that there was still a group of insects in Tokyo that needed to be cleaned up in advance.

After secretly sentencing everyone in the base to death, Jiang Lianqiu asked, "According to you, once the evil spirits are gone, those high-ranking guys will attack you, the Demon Slayer Corps?"

Ubuyashiki Kōya nodded helplessly, "That's exactly what happened. It's precisely because of this that the Demon Slayer Corps has always deliberately stayed outside the core of power, avoiding any interactions with them. As a result, they're still not recognized by the higher-ups."

Jiang Lianqiu shook his head.

I really don't know who to call stupid.

The group of pillars only realized now that their lord had been worried about this matter all along.

Previously, because of the existence of Muzan Kibutsuji and the world needed the Demon Slayer Corps, it seemed that everyone was living in peace.

But if the evil spirits are gone, the Demon Slayer Corps will become an eyesore in the eyes of some people.

It just so happened that Jiang Lianqiu also found those guys annoying.

Glancing at the pillars present, his gaze fell on Ubuyashiki Kōya. He tapped the armrest of his chair with his fingertips and said, "You will still be the leader of the Demon Slayer Corps. Those who are willing to stay and have the aptitude to practice breathing techniques will be trained first. The rest who don't have the aptitude will be transferred to logistics."

"…But my body?"

"It's a small problem." Jiang Lianqiu pointed at Ubuyashiki Kyouya, "When Muzan Kibutsuji surrenders, Ubuyashiki's curse will naturally be lifted. Then it won't be difficult to cure your illness at all."

A moment later, a group of pillar-level high-ranking members of the Demon Slayer Corps knelt down on one knee in front of Jiang Lianqiu.

““““Greetings, my lord!!!”””Worker”.

Chapter 402: Wuzhan: Escape! Go abroad!

Infinite city.

This is the castle in another dimension where the ancestor of demons, Muzan Kibutsuji, lives. Except for Muzan Kibutsuji himself, other evil demons can only enter and exit with the help of Mingnu, the administrator of this place.

In the eyes of Muzan Kibutsuji, there is no place in the world safer than the Infinite Castle!

However, on this day, in a room deep in the Infinite Castle, Muzan Kibutsuji, who was sleeping with his eyes closed, suddenly opened his eyes.

"what happened!?"

Through perception, he clearly confirmed that another upper moon among his twelve demon moons was dead!

This is the second Upper Moon to fall after Douma four years ago.

Relying on blood demon art and the cells he left in the other's body, in the picture presented by the memories that were finally transmitted back, the fallen Upper Rank Hantengu, before his death, saw not the pillars of the Demon Slayer Corps he was familiar with, but a group of soldiers in strange uniforms?

In the picture, in a desolate wilderness, a dog named Bantian was shot to pieces by several soldiers...

"Soldiers? Human soldiers? How could they possibly kill an Upper Rank!?"

Muzan Kibutsuji is in a completely unwell state... no, his entire demon body is in a completely unwell state.

Although the annoying thing called technology has been developing faster and faster in recent years, and the gunpowder that he used to look down upon can now be made into various bombs that can definitely blow him, the devil ancestor, half to death as long as they are willing to increase the equivalent, but he absolutely does not believe that a group of soldiers with guns can kill an upper-rank soldier.

And from the memory images sent back by Hantengu before his death, Muzan Kibutsuji also clearly discovered that these soldiers—

"Foreigners!?"

"Where did Japan's foreign troops come from!?"

"??????"

"However, the guns those guys are holding are different from what we've seen before."

"I have to say, this foreign thing is really beautiful..."

After trying hard to collect Hantengu's almost fading memories before his death, Muzan Kibutsuji finally saw how these strange foreign soldiers killed one of his upper-rank soldiers.
