The next day, Demon Slayer Headquarters.

"Wouldn't you like to rest for a while?"

The sun had just risen. In the courtyard, Ubuyashiki Hikoya looked at Irumi who had changed into the Demon Slayer uniform, and asked in a gentle tone.

Beside him, in addition to Ubuyashiki Mion who was there last night, there were also two kimono girls who had hosted the selection at Fujirai Mountain.

"No, I have other things to do."

Illumi looked at the Ubuyashiki family with a flat look and replied.

"In that case, then..."

Ubuyashiki raised his arms, and the two girls behind him stepped forward, holding his arms one on the left and one on the right to help him up.

With the support of two girls, he slowly came to Yilumi, stretched out his right hand and patted Yilumi on the left shoulder.

"I wish you a safe journey and success in every battle."

Ubuyashiki Hikoya stared at him sincerely with his white pupils and blessed him.

"Thank you."

Out of the corner of his eye, Ilumi glanced at the hand on her left shoulder, and he could feel the faint trembling of her arm.

Ubuyashiki Hikoya, just raising his arms, already used up all his strength.

"My people have a lot of resources at Imperial College. If you are willing, I can arrange the best medical experts for you."

Ilumi suggested.

"Although I really want to thank you, but..." Ubuyashiki Hikoya's right hand slipped from Illumi's left shoulder and hung by his side. A gentle smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, "The current Demon Slayer Corps is very fragile and cannot be without my leadership.

.”

"And the next leader of the Demon Slayer Squad will still need time to grow."

When Ubuyashiki Hikoya spoke, his eyes looked gently to the side, where his wife gave birth to the baby in Mion's arms, and Ubuyashiki Yozai.

"The next generation of Demon Slayers is in charge."

Illumi also lowered his head and looked at the baby in Yashiki Mion's arms. At this time, he was sleeping peacefully with his eyes closed.

"Then, farewell."

Illumi raised her head, glanced at Ubuyashiki's family, nodded slightly to Ubuyashiki Hikoya, and turned around to leave.

"Da... da..."

Yilumi stepped on the gravel path in the courtyard and walked out of the courtyard gate, then walked along the path outside the courtyard into the distance.

The Uyashiki family stood in the courtyard, watching Illumi's back disappear from the end of the field of vision.

"Five hundred years have passed, and the Demon Slayer Corps has once again appeared a demon-slaying swordsman who can match Usang."

"Kibutsuji Muzan, your destiny has finally turned around again."

Ubuyashiki Hikoya sighed, looked up at the bright sky above his head, and showed a gentle smile.

Demon Slayer Headquarters, main gate.

"Sir." Yilumi came to the door. A man from the hidden army knelt down on one knee and said in a respectful tone, "Next, I will take you out of the mountain."

In just one night, Ilumi's level directly changed from Gui level to Pillar level, and the fact that he solved the two Twelve Ghost Moons, Xia Xian 1 and Xia Xian 2, was also spread throughout the headquarters.

"Well, thank you for your hard work."

Ilumi nodded slightly, and the members of the hidden force stood up silently, turned around and ran out of the gate, running down the mountain.

Yilumi followed the members of the hidden army unhurriedly. Because it was his first time going up the mountain, he needed the members of the hidden army to lead the way. But after he got familiar with it, he would not send anyone to lead the way.

As this member of the Hidden Force led the way, he kept glancing at Ilumi from the corner of his eye, sizing up the new water column who could outshine two Twelve Ghost Moons on his own.

Thirty minutes later...

"Wow..."

In the forest at the foot of the mountain, two figures ran quickly, bumping into some branches from time to time. After the figures passed by, they bounced back, making a "clatter" sound.

"Sir, we have reached the foot of the mountain."

While running, the member of the hidden force leading the way noticed a flash of white light at the end of the forest and spoke out.

Ilumi also saw the white light at the end of his field of vision, and the two of them quickened their steps.

After a while, the two of them rushed out of the forest and stopped in the wasteland outside.

"Sir, I will send you here."

The members of the hidden force turned to face Ilumi with respectful expressions.

"Yes." Yilumi nodded lightly, looked back at the dark forest behind him, and said softly: "The way down the mountain is different from the way up the mountain."

"For safety reasons, there are several routes up and down the mountain from the headquarters, and they are all separate. This is just one of them."

Hearing this, the members of the hidden force explained to him, then bowed slightly to Yilumi, turned around and went into the forest, and disappeared after a "rustling" sound.

Yilumi looked at the direction where he disappeared and raised his head slightly.

A crow with scarlet eyes was standing on a branch, looking into the forest, then spread its wings and flew towards Ilumi below.

Ilumi raised his left arm and let the red-eyed crow land on it.

"How are things going?"

Ilumi looked at the crow and asked.

"Shangxian No. 6 has been captured, and the next target is Shangxian No. 2." Pride's voice came from the crow's mouth, "In addition, I plan to win over Zhu Shi."

"It's okay to win over Zhu Shi."

Ilumi thought about it carefully, and Zhu Shi's face flashed in his mind.

This woman knows the most about ghosts. Over the past five hundred years, even if she was used as the experimental material, she has probably done it tens of thousands of times.

"Who are you going to send on the second string?"

Ilumi asked.

"In view of the ability and characteristics of the second string, I plan to capture it myself." Pride replied in a deep voice: "However, there is a small problem now."

"I have sent out Sloth, Gratoni, and Rust."

"If I also leave, the experimental base will not be 100% safe."

"Isn't there an army?" Yilumi frowned.

"There's no need to worry about the army's combat effectiveness." Pride said solemnly: "But the security technology of this era is too backward. If a ghost with stealth ability comes, the army alone will not be enough."

"Although the probability is very low, it will be even more difficult if Onibutsuji Muzan comes with a ghost with stealth ability."

"Maybe they can take away all the dozens of ghosts in the laboratory silently."

As Ilumi listened to Pride's words, a ghost that could pull people into the swamp flashed in his mind. That was a ghost with extra-dimensional abilities, which was perfect for sneaking.

And there seems to be more than one ghost like this.

"The blood ghost technique is really a strange ability." Yilumi said: "Then, I will capture Shang Xian Er, and you will still guard the experimental base."

"This is one of the reasons why I came to inform you." Pride said solemnly: "Although it is safest for you to guard the experimental base, according to my speculation, Muzui Kibutsuji's actions were just recently."

"By the time you arrive in Tokyo, it will be too late."

"I see." Yilumi smiled, "Then, tell me the position of the second string."

"Kumamoto City, Yatsushiro area."
