Volume 5: Demon Slayer Chapter 027 Key Data
Muzan Kibutsuji was a little hesitant.
Although his mind told him that this was a trap, he couldn't help but be moved when he heard the name of the blue spider lily.
Ever since he became a ghost, he began looking for the blue spider lily.
As of today, he has been searching for this thing for a thousand years.
He could still endure it for the first few decades or hundreds of years.
But now, he hasn't basked in the sun for nearly a thousand years. This time is so long that he has forgotten what it feels like when the sun sets on his body.
Therefore, even though he knew it might be a trap, he was still tempted.
This is an opportunity.
If I miss this opportunity, God knows how many years I will have to wait before I can find the blue spider lily, overcome the problem of the sun, and walk freely under the sun.
For this opportunity, he was willing to give it a try.
Of course, there was no way he would expose himself to any threat, not even the slightest danger.
…
The next evening, after dinner, Emiya returned to his room, opened the air door and returned to the warehouse where he had fought yesterday.
But the warehouse was empty at this time.
Emiya used his observation Haki, but still did not notice the presence of any person or demon.
He wouldn't have not come.
Emiya couldn't help but think that Muzan Kibutsuji was really patient. The news of the blue spider lily that he had been searching for for a thousand years was right in front of him, but this guy could still be patient?
Forget it, I'll just wait for an hour. If this guy doesn't come after an hour, I'll just leave.
So Emiya made a stool and sat down, took out a comic book and began to read it with relish.
Half an hour passed, and a ghost suddenly appeared in Shirou's perception.
And it was a familiar scent.
Emiya couldn't help but laugh. He put away the comic and waited for a few minutes. Douma, the Upper Rank Two who was let go by Emiya yesterday, appeared in front of Emiya.
"Where is Muzan Kibutsuji?" Emiya asked.
Douma still had a fake smile on his face, "Lord Muzan doesn't trust you humans, so he sent me here this time, but I brought this."
He pulled out a notebook from his pocket.
Emiya said, "Is this the doctor's note?"
Douma nodded, "As long as you tell me the news about the blue spider lily, this notebook will be yours. But if you want to snatch it, I will destroy it the second before you do anything."
Emiya said, "How about this, you give me the notebook and I'll tell you the news about the blue spider lily."
"That won't work. You have to tell me the news first." Douma shook his head and refused.
Emiya couldn't help but sigh, "It seems like neither of us trusts the other."
"Humans and ghosts are mortal enemies who fight each other. Of course there is no trust."
"Then can you guarantee that this notebook has not been modified by Muzan Kibutsuji?" Emiya asked back.
Douma said: "I can't guarantee that, because this notebook was handed to me by Master Muzan himself, and he ordered me not to read the contents of this notebook."
Emiya thought for a moment and said, "In that case, I can only tell you half of the news. After you hand over the notebook to me, I will tell you the other half. If I find out that the contents of the notebook are false, I will kill you."
Douma was deep in thought, but at this moment, a voice sounded in his mind.
"Promise him."
That is the voice of Muzan Kibutsuji.
Douma nodded and said, "Okay."
Emiya said: "Muzan Kibutsuji has been searching for a thousand years but has not found the blue spider lily. The reason is very simple. The blue spider lily only blooms during the day. Let alone a thousand years, you will not be able to touch the blue spider lily even if you search for ten thousand years."
Douma was stunned.
Emiya couldn't help but burst into laughter. He believed that if Muzan Kibutsuji heard this news, he would be so angry that his lungs would explode, because the existence of the blue spider lily was a huge irony for them, a group of evil spirits.
Something that has been sought for thousands of years is only open during the day.
Ghosts, on the other hand, cannot move during the day.
Of course, Muzan Kibutsuji has another way, which is to control humans and let them help him find the blue spider lily.
But the problem is that the blue spider lily only blooms during a specific period of the year.
Ordinary people have no way of getting access to this stuff.
And even if we take a step back, even if Muzan Kibutsuji really got the blue spider lily and no longer feared the sun, what would happen then?
By the time he did this, the members of the Demon Slayer Corps had already learned the Nen. By that time everyone would rush forward in a swarm, and a mere Kibutsuji Muzan would be nothing.
It's easy to entangle this monster.
If all else fails, Emiya can personally take action and absorb all of Muzan Kibutsuji's vitality. He believes that after Muzan Kibutsuji has overcome the sunlight, his vitality will be even more terrifying than it is now.
It's simply a human-sized tonic.
After laughing, Emiya reached out to Douma to ask for the notes. If Douma dared to refuse, Emiya would kill Douma directly, and then find a way to enter the Infinite Castle and kill Muzan Kibutsuji.
He did what he said, and it's not like he doesn't have spatial power.
"Give it to him!" Muzan Kibutsuji gave the order, and Douma threw the notebook to Emiya without hesitation.
Emiya took the notebook, flipped through it, and found that there were a lot of medication prescriptions and formulas written on the notebook. Emiya felt a headache after reading them.
Ordinary people really can't understand this thing.
But it doesn't matter, Emiya has professionals.
Douma then asked, "Now you can tell me where the blue spider lily is."
Emiya patted the notebook in his hand and said, "I'm going to verify the authenticity of this notebook. If it's true, I'll tell you the follow-up news. If it's false, I'll kill you."
After saying that, Emiya turned and left.
In fact, he didn't know where the blue spider lily was. He only knew that it bloomed during the day, but he was not sure where exactly and at what specific time it bloomed.
After all, the blue spider lily only appeared at the end of the plot, and was only mentioned briefly.
So Shirou was not quite sure about this.
After he returned to the Demon Slayer Corps' headquarters, he slept for a night. The next morning, he found Ubuyashiki Kakuya during breakfast and threw the notebook to the head of the Demon Slayer Corps.
"Help me verify the contents of the notebook."
Ubuyashiki Yoya nodded, flipped through the notebook for a few seconds, and his pupils contracted violently.
"Master Emiya, this is..."
"Why, I understand."
Ubuyashiki Yoya nodded and said, "I can understand a little bit."
As the saying goes, long illness makes one a doctor. The Ubuyashiki clan is born weak, especially the boys, so Ubuyashiki Yoya has been dealing with various medicines since he was a child, and over time he has also learned some medical skills.
Although it is not very profound, you can still understand something about the medication formula above.
Emiya did not hide anything and said straightforwardly, "I asked for this from Muzan Kibutsuji. It was with this thing that he turned from a human into the ancestor of demons a thousand years ago."
Ubuyashiki Yoya was shocked, "Did Lord Emiya see the ghost Kibutsuji Muzan?"
"No, that guy is very evasive. The one he sent was Upper Rank Two Douma, who hid himself and didn't show up." Emiya chuckled and said, "Maybe he's afraid that I would kill him."
Although Ubuyashiki Yoya didn't quite understand what Gou meant, he vaguely grasped the meaning of it by considering the context, "That guy is indeed very cautious."
"Okay, let your people verify it." Emiya said.
The maternity family all have specialized doctors, so verifying the authenticity of a notebook should not be a problem.
Sure enough, the next day after Emiya handed the notebook to Ubuyashiki Yoya, Ubuyashiki Yoya found Emiya and told him that there were several key points in the notebook that were unclear.
When Emiya heard this, he laughed, "I knew that Muzan Kibutsuji would never hand over the notebook to me intact."
Ubuyashiki Yoya couldn't help but ask, "How did you get this notebook from Muzan Kibutsuji?"
"It's news about the blue spider lily."
"What?" Ubuyashiki Kazuya's face changed drastically.
"Don't worry, the blue spider lily only blooms during the day, and only at a specific time of the year. The time is surprisingly short. It's not easy for Muzan Kibutsuji to get this thing."
After hearing what Emiya said, Ubuyashiki Yoya was dumbfounded.
After a long while, he finally smiled bitterly. "The key drug that can make Muzan Kibutsuji fearless of the sun is actually only effective during the day. This is really..."
No wonder Muzan Kibutsuji has not been able to overcome his fear of the sun for a thousand years.
Ubuyashiki Yoya smiled bitterly, but also felt a bit gloating.
Emiya said: "Can you think of a solution for those key points?"
Ubuyashiki Yoya shook his head. "These data are too critical. Without them, we simply cannot produce finished drugs."
Emiya couldn't help but sigh, "Forget it then."
Anyway, there are more than one thing in the world that can make people immortal. Maybe if you travel through time a few more times, you can encounter other good things.
Of course, it would be a pity to give up just like that.
Emiya thought for a moment and said, "You should learn Nen first. Once you have mastered it, go find Muzan Kibutsuji. After you find him, try to interrogate the data out of him. It shouldn't be a problem."
Ubuyashiki Yoya nodded , "We will definitely not disappoint Lord Emiya's expectations."
"Well, I believe you." Emiya nodded. In the original plot, the Demon Slayer Corps could kill Muzan Kibutsuji. There was no reason why they couldn't do that after five of the upper-rank demons were killed by Emiya and the pillars learned Nen.
So Emiya is very optimistic about the future of the Demon Slayer Corps.
