I will attack as a player!

Chapter 20 The Demon of Freedom, the Lower Moon Attacks!

Five days later.

Chu Wuji opened the high-temperature sterilization kettle, took out a bottle of medicine, and placed it on the table.

"W-How...?" Shinobu asked cautiously from the side.

Since Chu Wuji proposed the Muzan nerve control theory and its solution, Shinobu Kocho was truly impressed by Chu Wuji's abilities and temporarily put aside her research on poisons to work as his assistant.

At this very moment, the drug named [Zunluoning] by Chu Wuji has completed the entire production process and has been born!

"I'm not sure, but let's give it a try."

Chu Wuji felt a little uneasy about this bottle of nerve system differentiation inhibitor, made using equipment from the Taisho era in Japan and with puerarin, baicalin, and resveratrol as its core ingredients, supplemented with various unique medical ingredients from Demon Slayer.

However, as the old saying goes, you'll know whether a mule or a horse is good or not once it's out for a spin.

Chu Wuji immediately used several syringes to draw out a certain amount and handed it to Shinobu Kocho: "Intrathecal injection."

"Yes!" Shinobu Kocho solemnly accepted the medicine and skillfully injected it into the demon bound to the operating table.

Because of the limitations of the times, there were no instruments that could directly visualize nerves, so Chu Wuji chose a more brutal method—dissecting the ghost's arms and legs to expose the nerves!

"How is it?"

"No response." Chu Wuji observed the tissue that had just been cut off: "Continue injecting [Clearing Meridians Killer]."

If [Zunluoning] prevents nerve differentiation from the source, then [Qingluosha] can target and eliminate nerves that are not differentiated.

Sure enough, within minutes of the injection of Qingluosha, the dissected nerves began to visibly twitch, like nematodes.

Under the microscope, those horribly damaged neurons began to break down, and in the next instant after being stimulated, these neurons began to fight back and split.

However, [Blocking Ning] was prepared for this moment. The [Blocking Ning] that had already been injected began to exert its power, and the unfortunate neuronal division failed.

The nerves affected by the drugs were unable to control the self-destruction of the ghost's flesh and blood, and it could only be eliminated little by little.

The whole process lasted for several hours, and whether the ghost was in pain was not within Chu Wuji's concern.

Such a completely demonized demon would need its differentiated nerves cleared. Chu Wuji planned to use [Blocking Nerve] in advance so that Muzan's nerves wouldn't differentiate in his body from the start, and he wouldn't suffer as much as this demon.

After a while, the ghost stopped convulsing, and the slice showed that the nerve removal was complete.

"It should be a success. Let's feed it some blood and see if we can get any information about Muzan."

"Okay!" Shinobu tore open a bag of blood plasma and fed it to the demon, who had regained his strength and began to regenerate his vocal cords and limbs.

"You...you...beasts, monsters! You will all die a horrible death!" The demon, having recovered, immediately began to curse, completely ignoring Shinobu's questions.

Just as Shinobu's veins bulged on her hand, preparing to make a move, Chu Wuji walked over.

"I ask, you answer, or we'll start over."

As it turned out, Chu Wuji's threats were unnecessary. The moment the ghost saw Chu Wuji's smiling face, fear took over its mind.

"I... I'd die if I told you..."

"Looks like that's not enough, give us another injection."

Before Chu Wuji could finish speaking, the ghost interrupted him: "I'll talk! I'll talk! After I'm done, please give me a quick death!"

"Muzan, the Demon King Muzan has gone mad for some reason. He keeps ordering the Twelve Demon Moons to create new demons for him, and I heard he's even sent out many new Lower Moons to search for someone!"

After saying this, the demon closed his eyes, awaiting the arrival of Muzan's curse.

But after waiting for a long time without dying, he opened his eyes in disbelief.

"Continue." This time, Shinobu's smile was genuine. "Where is Muzan now?"

"In the Infinity Castle!" Realizing he wouldn't die no matter what he said, the demon began to spill all the information he knew: "I don't know where the Infinity Castle is, it's Muzan's... Muzan's maid's Blood Demon Art, it can bring people in from a great distance!"

"The Twelve Ghost Months and many powerful ghosts usually reside inside."

"Hmm~ Is that so?" Shinobu Kocho thought for a moment and then said, "One last question."

"Do you know a ghost whose weapon is a sharp fan, and whose head is splattered with what looks like blood?"

"It's Upper Moon Two! I saw it once before from afar."

"...Is that so?" Shinobu Kocho fell silent.

Chu Wuji could only see Shinobu Kocho's clenched fist. Knowing the plot, he naturally understood that Shinobu Kocho was thinking of her sister who died at the hands of Doma.

After thinking for a moment, Chu Wuji patted Shinobu Kocho on the shoulder: "Relax. The most important thing right now is to improve yourself. One day you'll be able to..."

"Able?" Shinobu Kocho agreed with Chu Wuji's words, but was curious why he stopped halfway through his sentence.

If you're going to comfort someone, then comfort them properly!

"The smell of ghosts is rather strong," Chu Wuji frowned.

Since Chu Wuji came here, he has dissected countless ghosts in this room, so it's normal for the smell to be a bit strong.

But this time the smell was clearly not coming from the room, and there was more than one.

"Get out of the way!"

Chu Wuji's voice and the sound of a house breaking rang out at the same time.

Shinobu Kocho, who was pushed aside by Chu Wuji, barely grazed a rapidly flying handball.

The handball, carrying terrifying force, smashed directly into the ghost on the operating table behind him, then crushed a large area of ​​floor tiles, and flew straight toward Chu Wuji's face at an acute angle.

[Authentic Old Jar] Cut out a blade of light, slicing the handball in half.

"The force is off; is this still the handball demon from the original work?!"

This demon also appeared in the original work, when it attacked Tamayo's residence and was killed by Tanjiro and Nezuko. It is not one of the Twelve Demon Moons.

But even with Chu Wuji's arm strength of over 20 tons, the force from the handball made it difficult to cut smoothly.

What's going on here? Is it the butterfly effect?

With this in mind, Chu Wuji put away the authentic old jar and channeled his true energy into his fists.

Chu Wuji was not familiar with using a knife, and continuing to use it would definitely break the blade. It would be better to use his most familiar fist technique.

"Shinobu, take the medicine and the demon and leave this place."

Shinobu hesitated for a moment, then nodded: "Be careful, I'll go call the Pillars for backup."

The value of the potion and this ghost of freedom is self-evident; they must be taken away.

Chu Wuji did not answer. He activated the Thunder Chasing Step instantly, and his whole body transformed into a phantom that crashed through the wall and appeared outside the courtyard.

Ahead, a short-haired female ghost with twelve arms stood by the pool with a smile on her face, constantly patting several handballs in her hands.

When their eyes met, Chu Wuji saw the words "Xia Lu" (下陆, meaning "descending to the mainland") in the other person's eyes.
