Specialty Resources and Non-Specialty Resources!
Then, Mumei asked curiously, "So their weakness is the Nichirin Blade in your hand?"
"Uh, you didn't even know that? Okay, okay, don't be angry!"
Koshimizu Fumi looked at the Mumei in shock, but when he saw the cute girl puffing out her cheeks and glaring at him, he quickly waved his hand and continued his introduction.
"Strictly speaking, the Nichirin Blade isn't a weakness. It only temporarily suppresses the demons' self-healing speed by absorbing sunlight. So, once their heads are cut off, they will die completely because they can't regenerate in time. In other words, the sun is the true nemesis of these demons!"
As Mumei listened, he examined the Samurai sword in his hand, its blade adorned with numerous purple patterns.
I don't know why, but she always gave me a sense of déjà vu.
Kabane and Man-Eating Demon.
The heart of Kabane can be easily pierced with a knife attached to the Kabane's Heart Membrane, and these demons can also be easily killed with a special knife.
Are there many of these ghosts?
"Uh, I'm not sure about that either, but it shouldn't be too few, because I heard from my teacher that the Demon Slayer Corps has several hundred members," Koshimizu Fumi remarked.
"By the way, you're also going to take the final assessment, right? Let's rest in this village for the night and go Heavenly One!"
The boy made no attempt to hide the anticipation in his eyes, staring intently into Mumei's Kohaku -like eyes as he awaited an answer, which made Mumei somewhat uncomfortable.
The key point is that she already has someone she likes, even though she's only twelve years old this year.
"Mumei, promise him you'll find out what's going on with the Demon Slayer Corps. I'll be following you in secret!"
Alright, Captain Laskey has spoken, so Mumei could only nod and accept his invitation under Koshimizu Fumi's increasingly surprised gaze.
"Okay, that's perfect, I couldn't quite remember the route the teacher mentioned, and I even brought the wrong knife."
As he spoke, Mumei first returned the Nichirin Blade to the other party, then hung the Steam Pistol on his waist, and casually took off the short sword from his back.
With a soft whooshing sound, half of the short sword blade was drawn out.
"Look."
Koshimizu Fumi glanced at it and found that there were no unusual patterns on the knife, indicating that it was just an ordinary short sword. At this point, he understood.
The girl was probably careless when she left home, mistaking the sword for Nichirin Blade, which is why she didn't use it against the White Demon earlier.
"As you know, the final assessment is almost here, and I simply don't have time to go back and change," Mumei a helpless expression.
"I see. It's alright. As long as we work together, you can use this knife too. It's just that I don't know what the assessment will be like. It would be terrible if we were separated."
Meanwhile, Laskey, who was secretly informing the other investigation teams about the demons, the Demon Slayer Corps, and the Nichirin Blade, so that they could be prepared should they encounter demons.
At the same time.
CIPHER POL members, disguised as ordinary people, infiltrate various cities and towns, each using different methods to gather intelligence about the country and the world.
Those groups in the big cities even bought a few copies of the newspapers that had been taken down, and then found a secluded spot to transmit the images back to the command center via Visual Den Den Mushi).
The Otherworld Strategy Committee immediately assembled a group of officials and experts from various departments to organize and study the contents of these newspapers.
The news they read most often in the newspapers was about Emperor Meiji passing away on July 30, 1912 (Meiji 45), and Emperor Yoshihito, the 123rd Emperor Taisho with the era name Taisho.
Looking at the date of the latest issue, it is now 'Taisho 2 (1913 in the Gregorian calendar)'.
There is also much content about the Meiji Restoration and the so-called Europa Continent countries, such as the Austro-Hungarian Empire, the German Empire, the British Empire, the United States of America, the Russian Empire, and so on.
It must be said that newspapers are truly valuable. They provide World Government with a massive amount of intelligence, so much so that the information is so abundant that it can only be categorized and organized in a short time, and it takes a considerable amount of time to fully digest it.
All of this made everyone realize that this world conquest would be many times more difficult than the previous Kabane World!
They are facing a complete world with billions of people!
Thousands of meters above the ground.
A colossal ship, tens of kilometers long, white with gold markings, named Noah, slowly sailed above the first half of the Grand Line.
"Demon Slayer Corps, Nichirin Blade"
Imu had already returned to his room, and naturally, he received the information that CIPHER POL had gathered from exploring the other world as soon as possible. The moment he saw these pictures, texts, and videos, many memories began to surface in his mind.
"After Kabaneri of the Kabaneri of the Iron Fortress, is Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba coming next? It really is all part of the Japanese manga world!"
Now it's basically confirmed.
He was lying on a beach chair sunbathing, while Kuja female guards with bows stood guard not far away. In the pool, Stussy, wearing a bikini, was gracefully splashing in the water, showing off her figure and smile.
Pity.
Imu's thoughts were currently focused on the Demon Slayer World. He was thinking about the value and resources of this world. Fortunately, with his current brain speed, he was efficient in thinking about anything.
Before long, I had a general idea.
First, he divided these resources from other worlds into two categories: one was called 'special products,' which were things that only existed in that world, and the other was called 'non-special products,' which were things that also existed in other worlds.
Just like the Kabane World, its 'special resources' are Kabane, McClatch high-pressure special steam boilers and Jet Bullet.
The 'non-specialty resources' include Armored Train, mortars, wired telephones, artillery, knife-forging technology, and so on.
The Demon Slayer World, however, has a much richer variety of 'special resources'.
Like the Kabane, the Man-Eating Demon itself is, then there's the Nichirin Blade and its main materials, 'Scarlet Sand Iron' and 'Scarlet Ore'. These minerals, which can absorb sunlight, are likely to have a special attack effect on so-called 'dark creatures'.
In addition to these, the Demon Slayer Corps' Breathing Technique and accompanying Swordsmanship also count, and going deeper, those with special physical constitutions also count.
For example, the Demon Slayer Corps Head of the Corps Ubuyashiki Family, has the ability to Future Sight.
His Future Sight differs from Future Sight of the Sea Star World. The latter allows one to see events that will happen seconds in advance and control them, while the former allows one to see a scene at a specific point in time within a year, but it is difficult to control.
"Speaking of which, the world's greatest local specialty is that Muzan Kibutsuji, a guy who's a hundred or two hundred years older than me."
Imu was actually quite interested in this cowardly guy.
The reason he is called a coward is that after being brutally defeated by Yoriichi Tsugikuni, this "Demon Progenitor" actually became a coward and hid until the latter died of old age before daring to come out and make a move.
This seems similar to his predecessor Imu's approach, both hiding behind the scenes for hundreds of years. However, the latter did so because he didn't want to go out, Muzan was afraid to go out!
In short, this is a cowardly man who lives only for the sake of living, content as long as he doesn't die.
Let's get back to the original topic.
Imu actually felt that, in terms of value to the World Government, the 'non-specialty resources' in the Demon Slayer World were not much less valuable than these 'specialty resources'.
It's important to understand that this world was at the point one year before World War I, and Europe and the United States possessed mature modern technology and industry, as well as a large number of scientists in various fields!
Overall, the Demon Slayer World is definitely a treasure trove.
