Chapter 22 My Clerk-02

The three people looked up at Cheng Xi at the same time. She threw the Butterfly Sisters' knives to them respectively, then found an empty bed and sat down: "My name is Cheng Xi, you can call me the store manager from now on."

Then she told the three people about the summoning and asked them to exchange information about their own worlds.

Shinobu Kocho stared at Cheng Xi, always on guard, and said nothing. She couldn't be sure whether this was a conspiracy against the Demon Slayer Corps by Muzan or Upper Rank Two.

Cheng Xi said in a cold tone: "It doesn't matter if you don't say it. I summoned you to this world and saved you. As long as I want, I can search all the memories in your mind at any time."

In fact, she couldn't, she was just pretending to be a villain to scare the three people.

In the end, it was Kanae Kocho who spoke: "Ms. Cheng Xi, thank you for saving us."

Kanae told Cheng Xi that she and her sister were swordsmen of the Demon Slayer Corps, and told them about the Millennium Demon King Muzan.

Kanae spoke up, and Shinobu had to tell her everything she knew. It turned out that she traveled through time four years after her sister's death, which was the time of the Infinite Castle Final Battle, and told her sister the information about the upper strings.

Kanae: "Is that so? Shinobu is really amazing. How is Kanao?"

Shinobu Kocho replied that Kanao was adopted as her stepson and has grown up very well.

"Stepson?" Cheng Xi was curious, "You look so young and you have a child?"

"What are you talking about!" With her sister next to her, Shinobu Kocho took off her gentle disguise and showed her sharp tongue, "Stepson means apprentice, okay!"

"Oh, so that's the idea." Cheng Xi suddenly realized, and then asked, "Then will you come to be my stepson?"

Shinobu Kocho: ...Keep silent.

Shinobu Kocho could no longer bear it.

Shinobu Kocho refused: "I don't want to be your stepson!"

Cheng Xi: "But Miss Kanae, have you ever considered making something that can replace sunlight to kill demons?"

"Replace sunlight?"

"Yeah, after a few hundred years of development in your era, technology will become very advanced, including the study of optics. I learned some public courses when I was in school before. Although I don't understand it very well, I still remember some of it." "The

main components of sunlight are radio waves, infrared rays, ultraviolet rays, X-rays, gamma rays, etc., and the components of these rays can be extracted separately... Wisteria is a light-loving plant. There must be some connection between them... Balabala."

Cheng Xi said a lot of things, and the Butterfly sisters were stunned. This level of being able to write a paper is called not understanding it?

Are people in your other world so cultured?

In addition, according to their description, one of the main reasons for the heavy casualties of the Demon Slayer Corps is that demons have a certain regenerative ability. If you cut off a few of their arms and legs, they can grow back immediately, while humans are fighting purely with their lives, and they may have to sacrifice countless lives to replace a demon.

"Muzan is so abominable! He should have been allowed to take a UV bath." She said indignantly and full of hatred.

Although she had not experienced the pain of the Demon Slayer Corps, the sentimental Cheng Xi had a strong sense of substitution, and she wanted to chop all the creatures in the Infinite City with a knife and chop them into dumpling fillings.

In addition, she also suggested: "Xiao Shinobu, you are very good at pharmacology, you can also learn some chemical technology in this world."

"Eh!?" Kocho Shinobu was a little confused, "How do you know that I am very good at pharmacology."

Cheng Xi couldn't help but roll her eyes and said helplessly: "The wisteria toxin in your blood was dialyzed eight times in the hospital before you were out of danger. These eight dialysis alone cost me 400,000 Baileys." "

When I was in school, I studied 1-1 dimethyl and 4-4 dichlorobipyridine in the laboratory. Both of them have strong internal absorption and contact killing effects. Once they are poured into the blood of the demon king, his whole body will be fibrotic and become a big loofah."

Kocho Shinobu: ... Although I don't understand, it seems to make sense.

After analyzing the technological methods of killing ghosts with the Butterfly sisters, it was obvious that they were no longer as withdrawn as before, and their trust in Cheng Xi increased. Shinobu Kocho no longer suspected that she was some conspiracy by Muzan.

After all, the ideas proposed by the woman who claimed to be the store manager seemed to be fatal, and each one could cut the aorta of the ghosts.

At this moment, Muzan and Douma, who were far away in another world, felt an inexplicable sense of panic.

"Their problems have been solved, and now it's your turn, boy, please tell your story." Cheng Xi looked at the boy on the bed opposite and asked.

He must have experienced something very painful and desperate. These days, he rarely ate, his eyes were dull, and his expression was dazed. He just lay on the bed and stared at the ceiling, or covered himself completely with the quilt, trying to isolate himself from the world. He

should be escaping, escaping from the past, escaping from reality, and wanting to forget all those painful memories.

"Boy! Boy!" Cheng Xi called Yoshino Junpei many times before he finally reacted. He looked at the large white ward in front of him and slowly said, "Thank you for saving me."

"My mother was murdered."

Cheng Xi: I really deserve to die... A sense of guilt that would slap myself twice when I woke up in the middle of the night arose.

I don't know how sad Yoshino Junpei was in his heart, but he looked terribly calm: "The person I trust most is actually a bad guy."

He described how he was deceived and ridiculed by the real person, as well as the fight in the school corridor. The ward was very quiet, and only the sound of the clock and the birds singing outside the window could be heard.

Now, Yuji-kun should be very sad, right?

Cheng Xi doesn't know how to comfort others. She brewed for almost half a minute, and finally uttered only one sentence: "Junpei, don't be sad."

When it comes to comforting others, she has always had 1000% empathy and -1000 comfort ability. There are only a few words she can think of. For example, don't be sad, don't be sad, or go have a drink?

If she had a cell phone in her hand now, she would have searched on various softwares: How to comfort a store clerk who has a mental breakdown?

Yoshino Junpei seemed to be even sadder after hearing her words. Although he tried hard to hold back his tears, he couldn't stop flowing down his face.

Shinobu Kocho suggested to Cheng Xi in a low voice: "If you really have nothing to say, just don't say anything."

Cheng Xi: "Yoshino Junpei, don't cry."

At this moment, Shinobu Kocho seemed to see the shadow of a water column on her...

What kind of heroic act is this Tomioka! ?

Cheng Xi continued to comfort her, but this time her voice became louder, and she yelled at him: "I can help resurrect your mother, and I can also teach you how to deal with the cursed spirit called Zhenren, so don't be sad, okay?"

The store manager cannot comfort people, but the store manager can help you settle things.

Yoshino Junpei's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he looked at her with expectation: "Can you really help me resurrect my mother?"

"The summoning talisman determines the summoning time according to the strength of the summoner. I am not strong, so you can only stay in this world for about five years before returning to the original world, but the return time can be delayed or advanced by a few days. In the past few years, I have studied time spells, and then I can send you to half a day before your mother was killed."

She looked at the Butterfly Sisters: "I will send you back too."

"Kanae, Shinobu, you have been killing ghosts so dangerously before. Thank you for your hard work."

After all, defeating the thousand-year-old ghost king and saving human lives is much more meaningful than working as a clerk in your own restaurant.

A warm feeling rose in the hearts of the Butterfly Sisters. Miss Cheng Xi looks really... such a reliable and gentle store manager.

Hearing that he could go back to the past in advance, the thick and dull haze in Yoshino Junpei's heart instantly dissipated a lot, and the clouds cleared and the sun came out, and it became bright.

He sat up from the bed. Although his long bangs still covered his right eye, his aura was obviously very different from the depression just now: "But, Miss Cheng Xi, the real person is really strong. If we can't kill him, my mother is still in danger."

"If he is a cursed spirit as you said, then it should not be killed, but exorcised or purified." Cheng Xi corrected.

"Are you also a sorcerer?"

"I am a talisman master. These two professions should be similar, right?"

In Junpei's memory, the profession of talisman master has only been seen in Chinese zombie movies, and has never been seen in real life. Before he had time to think about it, he heard Cheng Xi asked him a question.

"Then, Junpei-san, are you willing to be my stepson? I can teach you how to purify that cursed spirit."

Shinobu Kocho: "Only Pillar-level members can adopt stepsons, okay?"

Before she finished speaking, Yoshino Junpei had already agreed: "I do."

Seeing the two swords behind Cheng Xi, he asked again: "Are you going to teach me swordsmanship and kill the real person?"

"Swordsmanship? I haven't thought about that." Cheng Xi refused decisively, and his evaluation was merciless, "You don't have the talent for swordsmanship, you can only barely protect yourself."

Yoshino Junpei:... There's no need to be so blunt, right?

Cheng Xi took out two very thick books from his backpack, each of which looked to have four or five hundred pages and placed them in front of him: "But you have the potential to learn spiritual techniques." "

The ability of the cursed spirit called Zhenren is to change people's souls. I can teach you soul cultivation, soul summoning, and the techniques of breaking the binding evil spirits that are specifically used to counter his soul-changing abilities, as well as soul attacks that can directly chop off his brain."

"But I suggest that you don't confront him head-on when you go back. It's best to pretend that you know nothing and observe his next moves first."

"Why?" Yoshino Junpei asked.

"Intuition, according to your description, based on my intuition over the years, I always feel that he must be planning some big moves in private."

"Just like what is written in the novel, with his despicable personality and ability, he will probably use the technique to create a large number of cyborgs, and then take advantage of the protagonists' unwillingness to hurt civilians and force them into confined spaces, such as subway stations or shopping malls, causing massive panic. Because it is a hot-blooded comic world, government departments and families with special abilities will definitely be useless, and may even be a drag." "

As for your friend, the container called Sukuna, he will definitely not be a passerby, at least he will start with the protagonist group."

Cheng Xi guessed, and then asked Yoshino Junpei to describe the battle scene in the school in detail. She unraveled the details and analyzed carefully, and always felt that the technical high school mentioned by Itadori Yuji was the gathering place of the protagonists.
"The cursed spirits born out of human malice, their goal must be to destroy humans and make the cursed spirits the masters of the earth. There is even the possibility that they will have an infinite battle royale or that the cursed spirits will take over human bodies because of their bad taste." " 

No way?" After hearing Cheng Xi's analysis, Yoshino Junpei was very amazed, and even a little bit did not react. He could not imagine how Tokyo would be destroyed in the future! 

But in fact, when he returned to his own world several years later and those speculations came true one by one, he realized that the store manager was the one who took the script. 

He picked up the big book on the bed and opened it. The font on it was not Japanese, so he couldn't understand it, and the dense text was a bit of a headache just looking at it, but he wanted to be able to revive his mother and go to a technical high school with Yuji-kun, where there were ridiculously strong teachers and partners to fight with, so he was very excited and wanted to learn all of these even if he had to eat or drink. 

"I will study these two books seriously." He said firmly and confidently. 

"Um... that, Junpei, you may have misunderstood." Cheng Xi corrected, "These two books are not the main text, but just the catalog." 

Yoshino Junpei: ... 

"But I believe that your high school years are the best stage in my memory of this life, come on!" 

Then she looked at the three patients on the bed, and said with a somewhat evil face: "You can work for me during the day to pay off my debts, and learn to kill ghosts and exorcise curses at night. I will try to ensure that you get four hours of sleep every day." 

Laughing, she finally realized that something was wrong, and her mouth began to stiffen, and her expression became weird. 

Although the definition of child labor is under the age of sixteen, the three in front of her are one high school student, one is seventeen, and one has just turned eighteen. She is not Yang Bailao. As a good young man of the new era with a good family background, although she has changed the world, she must also abide by the "Minor Protection Law"! ? 

God, Cheng Xi almost fainted when she thought of this, and her palm involuntarily touched the other summoning talismans in the bag. 

If you can choose, please give me a mature, stable, capable, and sociable reliable adult! She prayed secretly in her heart.
