Surpass Yourself from Demon Slayer

"Teacher, are you looking for me?"

Ji Qingfeng came to Ubuyashiki Yoshiya as soon as he arrived at the Demon Slayer Corps headquarters.

"Qingfeng, congratulations on passing the Demon Slayer Corps' assessment."

Ubuyashiki Yoya didn't rush to talk about things, but took out a letter."You will understand after reading this."

Ji Qingfeng took the letter handed over by Ubuyashiki Yoya with a puzzled look on his face and read it carefully.

""Entrust, entrust with an important task?"

Oh my god, he finally knew why Ubuyashiki Yoya called him to the headquarters.

It turned out that it was because his old master sold him out.

"Mr. Kuwashima respects and recognizes you so much, I can also safely entrust you with the important task."

Ji Qingfeng smiled bitterly and nodded. Hearing this, he could not say no to the care he received from Ubuyashiki Yoya and Kuwashima Jigoro.

"There are currently three places where more than four of my children have disappeared. These three places are likely to have the Lower String Demons from the Twelve Demon Moons."Ubuyashiki Yoya said solemnly. The disappearances are likely to have been killed, and it is not ruled out that some lucky team members can wait until the Pillar-level swordsman arrives.

"I have sent strong children to investigate two of the places. I had to call you back for this one because I was short of manpower."

"I understand, teacher, I can set off at any time."

Ubuyashiki Yoya nodded with relief when he heard this, and took out the information that his child had sent back through the crow before he disappeared.

After taking the information and reading it carefully, Ji Qingfeng found that there were some overlaps in the information written on the paper. It was obviously the information that was sent back by different people and then condensed and excerpted by others.

A week ago, the owner of Hirata Mansion and a group of servants were slaughtered overnight.

According to people nearby, all the people in the mansion died, and most of them were killed by a single blow. Only the bodies of the family of the owner of Hirata Mansion seemed to have been eaten by some kind of beast.

The father and ancestors of the owner of Hirata Mansion are suspected of having kept a large number of samurai in the house a long time ago. After the ban on swords began, the samurai in the family gradually dispersed.

After the samurai kept in the house left, the previous owner of Hirata Mansion is suspected of hiring ninjas to eliminate competitors in the family business.

The content of the intelligence is roughly like this, and there is also some information on missing persons who were sent there.

‘Since there is a suspicion of a ninja appearing, why not go find Tengen Uzui?’

‘Oh, by the way, it seems that Uzui Tengen escaped with his three wives. We really shouldn't look for him.’

""Teacher, is there anything else you want to tell me?" After learning the information, Ji Qingfeng raised his head and asked Ubuyashiki Yoya.

Hearing this, Ubuyashiki Yoya shook his head, knowing that Ji Qingfeng was ready to set off, and immediately said gently:"Have a safe trip."

"Then I'll go first."

Ji Qingfeng nodded, said goodbye, and left the Demon Slayer Corps headquarters, heading for Hirata Mansion.

Two days later, at Hirata Mansion.

After arriving at the town where Hirata Mansion was located, Ji Qingfeng did not alarm anyone, and he did not even go to the Wisteria House. During the day, he seemed like a foreigner who came to travel. In the middle of the night, he quietly sneaked into Hirata Mansion alone.

The intelligence had already investigated what needed to be investigated, and he should not be able to find anything from the residents of the town. There was no description of the situation in the mansion in the intelligence, which meant that the previous members of the Demon Slayer Corps were all The investigation began with the residents of the town.

Not long after the news of the investigation was passed back to the Demon Slayer Corps headquarters, they disappeared.

Ji Qingfeng suspected that it was possible that they attracted the attention of the ghost while investigating the intelligence, and the ghost attacked them at night.

As for the location of the attack, Ji Qingfeng guessed that it was most likely in the Hirata residence, and the Demon Slayer members who came to investigate should stay in the Wisteria House at night.

There are wisteria trees planted in the Wisteria House, and ghosts extremely hate wisteria flowers, so the previous Demon Slayer Corps members can only have been attacked outside.

The biggest purpose of the Demon Slayer Corps members going out at night is to It was to investigate Hirata's residence.

Ji Qingfeng guessed that the course of events was like this: the Demon Slayer Corps member who first received the mission probably had no experience and investigated everywhere during the day without any disguise, which attracted the attention of the ghost that attacked Hirata

's residence. At night, after reporting the information he knew back to the headquarters at Wisteria House, he rashly went to investigate Hirata's residence in the middle of the night and disappeared.

Ji Qingfeng didn't know how the D-level member who was sent over disappeared. It was possible that the ghost had targeted the D-level member as soon as he came in.

The uniform of the Demon Slayer Corps, and the sundial around the waist Wheel sword, and the crow following him.

Ji Qingfeng felt that the logo of the Demon Slayer Corps was quite obvious and easy to recognize.

So before coming to this town, Ji Qingfeng put on a dark coat over the Demon Slayer Corps uniform, and then asked his crow not to follow him for the time being.

He found a caravan and mixed in, and followed the caravan to this town.

After climbing over the wall and entering the Hirata residence, Ji Qingfeng looked around the house in the moonlight.

The traditional Japanese-style house is not like those buildings outside, which are influenced by Europe and have become Westernized.

‘There was no body, but there was blood here.

After entering the house, Ji Qingfeng began to search the outer rooms in the moonlight.

‘Since the intelligence mentioned that the nearby residents knew about the situation here, it is very likely that the local police had blocked off the area and investigated after the incident.

Ji Qingfeng did not find any information in the outer room and continued to walk inside.

Until the early morning, Ji Qingfeng did not find any trace of the Demon Slayer Corps members and the demon. He was still thinking that if possible, he would try his best to save the Demon Slayer Corps members.

‘After so many days, the ghost might have left here.

After leaving Hirata's residence and returning to the hotel where he was staying temporarily, Ji Qingfeng frowned and pondered in his room.

‘It seems that there is no hope for a secret investigation. How about... trying to expose myself today?

A knock on the door interrupted Ji Qingfeng's thoughts, and then the voice of the hotel helper came from outside the door.

"Excuse me, sir. I have placed the breakfast you just ordered at the door. After you finish your meal, someone will come to collect it."

"I wish you a pleasant meal."

He stood up, opened the door, and brought breakfast into the room. Ji Qingfeng sat cross-legged on the tatami with his back against the window and began to eat.

"Alas, I don't know when the police will find those missing children."

"Yes, these policemen are really useless. The result of the investigation at Hirata's residence actually said that it was an attack by a wild beast. It is so irresponsible. What kind of wild beast can kill more than 20 people?"

"Yes, and when no one saw any wild animals at night"

"Hush, stop talking, the patrol is coming."

Listening to the discussions of the vendors coming from outside the window, Ji Qingfeng looked a little more relaxed.
