Demon Slayer: Upper 0 seems to be a waste

Chapter 182: Upper Strings Gathering

What truly stopped the spread of war was Kokushibo's voice.

"Lord Muzan has arrived."

In just a moment, Hantengu, Akaza, and Douma all fell silent.

"The courtesan Taro is dead, and the waxing moon is incomplete."

It was just a plain sentence, not even a loud voice, but it echoed clearly in the ears of every upper string.

"I'm so sorry! I was the one who introduced the prostitute, Taro, and now he's dead. How can I apologize?... How about I dig out my own eyeballs?"

Douma is definitely not the only one who doesn't feel afraid at this time, but he is the only one who is so tactless at this time.

"What use do I have for your eyes?"

That calm response was enough to make Douma realize that he should shut up.

"I expected Gyuutarou to lose. As expected, Dakime is a liability. If Gyuutarou had fought from the start, they would have won instinctively... After all, all they need to do is poison him, and there wouldn't even be any need to fight after that... No. It doesn't matter."

The pen slides across the paper, the test tube is shaken, and a reaction occurs after the reagent is added. Every tiny sound is infinitely amplified, and the silence makes the heartbeat obvious.

"Rinko, why did you just watch but not kill anyone? Gyokutsu, why did you go to the battlefield but not take out a single pillar? And the others... the Ubuyashiki clan has not been eradicated yet, and there is no news of the blue Higanbana."

It only took a moment for him to go from calm to furious. Criticizing someone by name is always a serious offense. As each word he spoke changed from calm to gnashing of teeth, the pressure gradually became clear. The sound of palms slapping the table echoed far away in the silent space.

"Why haven't you found it after hundreds of years? I no longer understand the meaning of your existence."

The boy sitting on the ground remained silent, but he vomited blood under the heavy pressure, and his ears and eyelids were bleeding silently.

The glass at hand shattered completely under the pressure and exploded in the air like fireworks.

Hantengou was begging for mercy, but Akaza remained silent.

"I am speechless... Ubuyashiki... is indeed very cleverly hidden."

At this time, apart from the strongest one, only the most tactless one dared to speak.

"After all, I'm not good at searching and exploring. What should I do?"

After a brief silence, Yu Hu chose to speak while thinking. Reporting information was one part, but proving himself was the more important part. He was not afraid of punishment. It would be better to say that he enjoyed the punishment. However, the accusation by name in public was undoubtedly an expression of disappointment.

He is not afraid of punishment, but he does not want to be considered useless by Muzan.

"Lord Muzan! I'm different from them! I have a piece of information! I'm sure I can..."

Her eyes and body did not react until the man's voice reached her ears, and Yuhu suddenly realized that her head had left her body.

"One hundred and thirteen years later, another Upper Moon has been killed. I am extremely unhappy now. And you, Yuhu, clearly went to Yuguo and had plenty of time to kill those demon hunters there, but you only brought Rinkou back. Why, Yuhu, you disappoint me so much..."

The palm that was supporting the head loosened slightly, and with a clear sound of a pipa, the head left the palm and fell to the ground. Yu Hu felt the blood flowing in the body and head, and the blood splattered everywhere, staining the ground.

"Don't rush to claim credit for unverified intelligence..."

The belated scolding floated over from afar, and Yu Hu could hardly hear the words that followed. He only felt the clear and intense pain, but even so, it was enough to make his pale face turn an unhealthy red. This was the punishment from Lord Muzan.

"You'd better give me your all... Don't test my patience again. Yuhu, if the situation is true, you will go with Hantengou."

This was the last sentence left by Muzan, and also the last sentence that Yuhu could hear clearly.

Muzan's arrival made the entire Mugen City silent, and Muzan's departure also brought the sound back to this area. Douma walked to Yuhu, Yuhu connected his head, and watched Douma pick up Rinkou, whose face was still covered in blood, and wiped the blood from the corner of his eyes with his hand.

"So what's going on with Rinkou? He's not reacting at all. You should really just hand him over to me and take him to eat something. But at this point, it's okay even if I secretly bite him."

The subject is physically intercepted, not just by the words, but by the open mouth and the movements the owner of the voice intends to make.

What stopped Douma from finishing his words was Akaza's fist.

"So I told you, don't try to get rid of Lingguang anymore."

The next second, it was Akaza's palm that fell to the ground. This scene seemed familiar to both Yuhu and Hantengu.

"Akaza. You've gone too far."

Kokushibo's arrival was as silent as his arrival here, and none of the Upper Ranks present noticed. Akaza didn't realize the blade had been unsheathed until his hand slipped away from his grip, and even the pain came later.

"It's okay, Lord Kokushibo. Lord Akaza has always been like this. I don't mind at all. This is also a way to get close to him. It's fun, isn't it? Letting him hit it on purpose will make him very happy."

Yuhu clearly saw Akaza's palms change from relaxed to clenched, and the blood vessels from the back of his hands to his arms, neck and even forehead were clearly exposed. There was no clearer symbol than this. He was angry, angry to a rare degree.

"You too, Douma. Be respectful to Rinko."

The next person to land was Lin Guang. With the arms that were hugging him, he cut off both arms completely and smoothly with a delicate strike, but did not hurt anything else.

Douma tilted his head and tried to raise his arm, but only the broken bones rose with the movement. His arm grew again, but this time he did not try to pick up Rinkou.

"Don't say that, Lord Kokushibo, I just wanted to give it a try. After all, little Rinko looks like he's completely lost his mind. I'm really worried about him, so I wanted to scare him. After all, he always reacted so strongly to this before, didn't he?"

It is difficult to distinguish between lies and the truth, but Kokushibo has no intention of distinguishing them. The long sword is not completely sheathed, and his thumb is holding the side of the sword. The exposed part is like some kind of silent threat.

"Kidding."

Douma immediately smiled brightly and took two steps back. He couldn't really feel joy or anger, but at least he could understand what Kokushibo was expressing. After all, he was just a little slow in emotions, not really blind.

"Then, Lord Yuhu, can you take me with you to have a look?"

"Lord Muzan didn't give you any orders, did he, Douma?"

It was Akaza who ended the topic again, but this time he used words instead of fists, so Kokushibo just stood there quietly and did nothing. The blade slid silently into the scabbard, and only the bloodstains on the ground silently announced what had happened here.
