Upon hearing this, the veins on Sanemi bulged instantly, and the corners of his mouth twitched involuntarily.
Anger surged within Sanemi, and he looked at Giyu was speaking irritably:
"Hey! You, have I been too nice to you today? Does that make you think I'm easy to mess with?"
"If you want to die, just say so. You don't need to beat around the bush like this!"
"I wouldn't mind beating you up before I go up and fight Doma!!"
Upon hearing this, Giyu merely glanced at Sanemi indifferently before looking away again.
"Yes, you haven't passed the test yet. I suggest you wait until this mission is over before going to Himejima to train for a while longer!"
Giyu's words made Sanemi unable to hold back any longer. He placed his right hand on the hilt of his sword, quickly drew the blade, and was about to fight Giyu when Sorai ( Sanemi's Kasugai Crow ) flew onto their heads.
" Lord Kato and Lady Kocho are on their way!"
" Lord Kato and Lady Kocho are on their way!"
The two listened quietly to Kasugai Crow's announcement, then Sanemi lowered his head, snorted coldly, and put his Nichirin Blade back in its place.
"Consider yourself lucky to have escaped death today!"
There was no reply; Giyu silently looked at Sanemi.
He couldn't quite understand why Sanemi had been so angry just now.
I had just earnestly suggested that the other person go and train with Himejima for a while longer.
What is he angry about?
Sanemi took a deep breath, calming his anger, and then looked at Giyu again, saying:
"Can we go up now?"
"Not yet!" Giyu shook his head.
"Why?" Sanemi frowned, his eyes fixed on Giyu.
Giyu calmly looked back and said, " Kato hasn't arrived yet!"
Sanemi raised his hand and waved it in front of him, saying:
"Hey! You, you can't do missions without them, can you?"
Why do we have to wait until they arrive?
"If we go up now, even if we can't defeat Doma, we won't die. We can hold out until they arrive!"
"Besides, it's not even certain that the thing up there is actually Doma now!"
Upon hearing this, Giyu lowered his head slightly and murmured to himself.
"Is it still uncertain whether it's Doma?"
Seeing this, Sanemi seemed to understand how to persuade Giyu. He grinned and said:
"That's right, it's not certain if it's Doma. Even if we wait until they arrive before going up together, we'll still have to investigate whether it's Doma or not. In that case, why don't we go up and investigate first!"
Giyu nodded thoughtfully upon hearing this.
Seeing that Giyu nodded, Sanemi was overjoyed and turned to run up the mountain, but he was stopped by Giyu again.
"What is it now?" Sanemi frowned as he looked at Giyu.
Without answering him, Giyu looked up at the Kasugai Crow and asked:
How long until they arrive?
"Half an hour! Half an hour!" The Kasugai Crow circled above the two of them.
"Is this okay now?" Sanemi asked Giyu impatiently.
Giyu nodded without replying.
"What a hassle!!" Sanemi said with dissatisfaction.
However, his words did not stir up Giyu's emotions, and the two ran towards the temple halfway up the mountain.
Soon, the two arrived outside the temple. Looking at the temple so close at hand, Giyu turned to Sanemi and discussed:
How do we investigate whether this area is Doma?
"Isn't this simple?" Sanemi said.
"Simple?" Giyu looked at Doma with some doubt.
Sanemi, "Charge in and see who the first one we encounter is. If it's a demon, then attack it directly! If it's a human, then capture them and interrogate them!"
"But these things might not even be ghosts! They're just acting a bit strange, that's why they reported it!" Giyu said, frowning.
Sanemi sneered, "You know he's not normal. Since he's not normal, who cares if he's human or demon? Even if he is, he's not a good person! Anyway, we're not going to kill him; at most, we'll just beat him up!"
Giyu frowned upon hearing this. It wasn't that he opposed this approach; after all, he had seen far worse things. He just had a vague feeling that something was missing...
The two sneaked inside, and before long, they encountered a bald cult member dressed in white in the corridor.
The bald man was startled when he saw the two of them, then shouted angrily:
Who are you? I've never seen you before.
What are you doing here?
Sanemi turned and exchanged a glance with Giyu, then quickly moved in front of the bald cult member, drawing his Nichirin Blade and pressing it against the cult member's neck.
A chill ran down his neck, and the bald cult member immediately raised his hands, trembling as he said:
"No! No! No! Let's talk this out! Let's talk this out!"
Sanemi leaned forward slightly, holding his sword, and pinned the bald cult member against the wall, glaring at him with a fierce look.
"Keep your voice down if you don't want to die!"
Upon hearing this, the bald cult member immediately lowered his voice.
"Well!"
Sanemi demanded sternly, "Speak! Who is your leader?"
"I... I don't know either!" the follower replied tremblingly.
"He's still a tough nut to crack!"
Sanemi sneered, tightening his grip on the Nichirin Blade slightly, and the sharp blade instantly pierced his skin.
Feeling a slight stinging pain in his neck and the cold liquid flowing down it, large beads of sweat instantly appeared on the bald cult member's face. He quickly said:
"I really don't know! We've always called him 'Master,' we really don't know his name!!"
Upon hearing this, Sanemi frowned slightly and stopped what he was doing. He hadn't really intended to kill him; he was just trying to scare him.
Seeing this, Giyu stepped forward and asked, "What does your leader look like?"
The blood flowing down his neck constantly reminded the bald cult member that he had answered the question hastily:
"The cult leader has white hair, colored pupils, and likes to wear..."
Sanemi and Giyu exchanged a glance. Having heard the previous answer, they already knew they had come to the right place!
Sanemi looked at the bald man and asked, "Is your cult leader here?"
Sanemi's words instantly snapped Giyu out of his daze; he finally realized he had missed something when he felt something at the doorway.
If they just barge in and interrogate someone, wouldn't that alert the enemy if Doma wasn't there?
However, the bald cult member's reply immediately put him at ease.
"Yes! Yes! The cult leader just received a believer tonight!"
Sanemi said, "Fine! Then take us to your leader's room! Let me tell you, don't try anything funny, or I don't know what will happen next, but your head will definitely fall off!"
The bald-headed cult member nodded repeatedly in agreement.
"Okay! Okay!"
