Shaking his head slightly, Gyutaro said.
"The civilians who had gathered earlier have long since dispersed, and there are hardly any people to be seen now."
After Scribe beat up Zhuang Mu and his gang, the common people, realizing that Tsukishiki Pharmaceuticals were not to be trifled with, naturally chose to leave.
Only a few diehards and hired surveillance personnel remain in the vicinity.
"Let's not talk about those guys anymore, I have some good news to tell you all."
At this moment, Yushiro suddenly spoke, a rare smile on his face.
"My research has made a breakthrough!"
"You've said similar things many times, but only the last result was satisfactory."
Koume, who was eating snacks, glanced at him, her face hardening, looking somewhat unhappy.
"Sister Koinatsu has cooperated with you for so long, so don't do anything weird this time."
"Alright, Koume, Yushiro really has some good news to tell everyone."
Koinatsu, holding Koume, smiled, patted her little head, and said gently.
"And the result will definitely surprise you."
"That's right!"
Standing up, Yushiro took a test tube from the table behind him and waved it in front of Tamayo and the others.
"This is my latest achievement."
"Is it good?"
A vein bulged on his forehead, Yushiro, suppressing his anger and determined not to argue with a child, explained.
"I purified and concentrated the herbs needed for the demon transformation and then condensed them together."
"If someone needs to become a demon, they only need to take this one bottle!"
"See? Hasn't this greatly reduced the time and steps required?"
After saying that, Yushiro glanced at Koume out of the corner of his eye.
"So, aren't we all ghosts? Who needs this thing?"
Upon hearing this, Yushiro's hand trembled, and he almost smashed his work.
Just as Koume said, everyone present was a ghost.
If that's the case, then what is the purpose of all the results of your hard work in researching?
Seeing Yushiro looking somewhat dejected, Koume's face was full of smiles.
"Brother, do you think Koume is right?"
When Koume looked at Gyutaro, she found that the latter's expression was very serious.
Just as she was about to say something, Koume's expression suddenly changed.
"What's wrong?"
The siblings' strange behavior caught Tamayo and the others' attention, and they all looked over.
"Someone is approaching, no, it's a ghost."
Suddenly standing up, Gyutaro shouted loudly at Tamayo and the others.
"Enemy attack!"
No sooner had he finished speaking than a beam of light the size of a millstone shattered the window, causing a violent explosion in the room.
The raging fire was burning fiercely, and fallen wood and reinforced concrete blocks were flying everywhere.
Before Tamayo and the others could react, they were crushed under the rubble.
Chapter 542 Where Are You?
On an open space not far away, several figures looked at the room that had been set on fire, and a satisfied smile appeared on their faces.
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh, as expected of the True Man, his strength is so great."
The mouth in the eye socket emitted a strange laugh, and the little hand on the Gyokko pot's head clapped hard, as if cheering.
"That was terrifying. Thankfully, Mr. Real Person is on our side."
His hunched figure was almost touching the ground. Hantengu glanced at Shinri Masato, then looked away.
Standing directly in front of the two demons, Shinri Masato had just finished unleashing his attack, smiled and looked at Dichai behind him.
"Dichai, don't you want to say anything?"
"What's there to say?"
A cold laugh came from Dichai, who was hiding under the cloak, and she said disdainfully.
"Only someone of your level would be happy with such a sloppy attack."
"What?!"
Upon hearing this, Shinri Masato immediately looked at him with displeasure.
Some time ago, after Dichai returned from the Swordsmith Village, her behavior began to become more flamboyant.
Apart from Upper Rank One and Upper Rank Two, he seemed to disregard the other three Upper Rank.
Especially after her conversation with Muzan not long ago, Dichai became even more unscrupulous.
"We'll let you go this time, but don't forget our purpose."
With a flick of his hand, the man temporarily withdrew his gaze.
"Do you really think those guys around the Scribe can beat us?"
With a hearty laugh, Dichai's voice was full of confidence.
"There are four of the Twelve Kizuki here! Four Upper Rank!"
"Even if we break into the Demon Slayer Corps headquarters, we can still kill Ubuyashiki and leave in style."
"Just catching a few little guys, isn't that a piece of cake?"
Ignoring Dichai, the Master turned to Gyokko and said.
"Get rid of all the humans around here."
"Rest assured."
With a smirk, Gyokko's face revealed a hint of smugness.
"I have already created a hundred fish monsters using magic, and there will be no survivors."
"That's good."
As he spoke, Shinri Masato looked at the room that was still burning not far away.
"Let's see just how strong those little guys really are."
No sooner had he finished speaking than a cracking sound came from the room where the explosion occurred.
Immediately afterwards, a ribbon flew out at an extremely fast speed, directly slashing towards Shinri Masato.
"How scary!"
The hunched Hantengu suddenly burst forth, leaping up with a speed completely at odds with its appearance, blocking the real person's path.
The sharp ribbon easily severed his neck, then retracted.
"He got slashed!"
It let out a strange cry, and then the head and body of the Hantengu underwent a strange transformation.
Just like back in the Swordsmith Village, they grew separately, turning into Jikan and Karaku.
"I'm furious! Why won't they come down!"
Jikan, he pulled a tin staff from his hand, then summoned lightning, which blasted into the room.
The already burning room exploded again, with red flames and blue lightning intertwining and destroying the entire floor.
Several figures fell from the upper floors and crashed heavily to the ground.
After the smoke cleared, Tamayo and the others came out.
Although his body was unharmed, judging from his tattered clothes, the attack had caused him some damage.
It's you!
After seeing Shinri Masato and the others clearly, a look of astonishment flashed across Tamayo's face.
She never imagined that her company would one day be attacked.
What was even more unexpected was that the one who launched the attack was actually the Upper Rank of the Twelve Kizuki!
"She is Tamayo."
After glancing at Tamayo, Shinri Masato said calmly.
"As the Scribe's wife, she must be captured alive; she still has great use."
"What about the other ghosts?"
"Whether they live or die, it doesn't matter."
Upon hearing this, the faces of Gyokko and the other ghosts immediately turned ferocious.
Having suffered greatly at the hands of the Scribe, and knowing they could not avenge themselves, they turned their attention to Yushiro and his companions.
Torture these weaklings; that's what a demon should do.
Noticing Gyokko's gaze, Gyutaro stepped forward and shielded Tamayo behind him.
"Miss Tamayo, I'll hold them off, you all go quickly."
Without the slightest hesitation, Gyutaro pulled the Blood Scythe from his forearm bone.
"Oh? The Upper Rank's strength is not bad."
Sensing the scent emanating from Gyutaro, Dichai chuckled.
"But if it's just you alone, I'm afraid you don't have that ability."
"And what about me, you ugly freak!"
With a sharp cry, Koume's body underwent a transformation.
In the blink of an eye, she transformed from a little girl into a mature and charming adult woman.
"Two Upper Rank fighters, are there any more?"
The sarcasm in her words remained unchanged; Dichai completely disregarded Gyutaro and Koume.
"In normal circumstances, your strength might be enough, but in front of four Upper Rank, you are nothing but ants."
As she spoke, an invisible aura erupted from Dichai's body, pressing down on the brother and sister.
Suppressing their discomfort, Gyutaro and Koume exchanged a glance before rushing out.
"Koinatsu, take Miss Tamayo and Yushiro and go quickly!"
He manipulated the ribbons to bind Tamayo and the others, then swung them away with force, sending them flying far away.
"Go find the Mister Scribe!"
Where do you want them to go?
A strange sound rang out, and then the ribbon that Koume was controlling was grabbed by a huge tentacle.
"Give this little girl to me, I love children the most."
"Then I'll choose that guy. He ruined my plans back in the Entertainment District."
Gyutaro and Koume were tied up with their respective opponents and couldn't spare the time to support Tamayo and the others.
"Come with us, Miss Tamayo."
Looking at Tamayo, who resembled a lamb to the slaughter, Shinri Masato gave her a gentlemanly bow.
