Chapter 184 Death of Shadow Demon
Chapter 184 Death of Shadow Demon
The Shadow Demon is a two-star monster that Qin Shi encountered during the trial in the secret forest.
At that time, although he defeated the undercover agent from the Hundred Demons Group, he still allowed the other party to summon this shadow demon out of the huge tomb.
Later, Principal Bai and Teacher Qingzhi went into the forest and captured the shadow demon.
"So it was sent here?"
Qin Shi immediately understood.
The undercover agent of the Hundred Ghosts Group has been completely annihilated, and there is no way to figure out his purpose of being an undercover agent.
The monster that remained behind became the only key.
"The first thing we did to this shadow demon was torture."
The old man opened the cell door.
"But no matter how we interrogate it, it seems that this shadow demon really doesn't know the purpose of its appearance here."
"So, the second step is to search its soul."
Talking about soul searching, Qin Shi suddenly remembered that he defeated Su Xiaoxiao in Linhai City.
Because no key information could be obtained from the Su family father and daughter, Senior Sister Lin Long sent them to Push Forward City for a soul search.
Soul searching, as the name suggests, is to search the soul. This is the most violent method of torture and can directly search for information that the target has seen.
However, because it is an interrogation of the soul, not only is the process painful, but it is also easy to turn the person into a vegetable after searching the soul.
"I have used soul search on this shadow demon many times, but every time its soul is blank. I can't see anything at all, just like a dead object."
"Before the soul search, this shadow demon behaved just like a normal monster."
Mr. Shi said slowly.
"Based on this situation, it is speculated that although this monster still has consciousness, this consciousness is like being controlled by someone. Under certain conditions, it will freeze."
"Combined with the fact that it is a spiritual object of a member of the Hundred Demons Group, there is only one conclusion we can draw."
Principal Bai looked serious.
"This monster was given blood by the ghost king of the Hundred Ghosts Group."
Qin Shi was shocked.
He knew that the descendant of the Demon King of the Hundred Demons was Muzan Kibutsuji from Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba.
By giving one's blood to others, one can turn them into "ghosts".
And can inflict specific curses on the blood.
For example, in the Demon Slayer anime, if the subordinate demons say the demon king's name, they will launch a "curse" to destroy themselves.
"This shadow demon is most likely cursed to have its soul become empty if its soul is searched."
"To verify this, I let this shadow demon shine in the sun and found that it was extremely afraid of sunlight, which means that my guess is very likely to be true."
Principal Bai nodded.
"But the strange thing is that this afternoon, this shadow demon suddenly...died!"
Mr. Shi sighed.
"My Push City is a secret place, isolated from the outside world."
"Therefore, even if this shadow demon has been given blood by the Ghost King, the Ghost King has the power to control it in a life-and-death battle."
"But in this Push City, the Ghost King still cannot use his power. This has been tested on other captured members of the Hundred Ghosts."
Qingzhi's expression also became serious.
"According to the intelligence the academy obtained earlier, if the Ghost King wants to kill the person he is bestowing blood on, first, they must be close enough, and second, they must be in the same space."
"But few people know the location of Propel City, and Propel City belongs to a secret space, and it is not in the same space as the outside world. The Ghost King cannot control the death of this shadow demon."
"But it just died like this, without any signs, it died suddenly."
Mr. Shi frowned.
"So far, no useful information has been obtained."
Qin Shi supported his head with his hands and asked a question.
"The most crucial reason is why Shadow Demon died at this time."
"Teacher Qingzhi, is today a special day?"
Teacher Qingzhi thought about it.
"Nothing special...By the way, today is the admission deadline for freshmen."
Seeing Qin Shi’s puzzled expression, Teacher Qingzhi explained in detail.
“Although enrollment is on the same day every year, not all students can enroll immediately after enrollment.”
"Some students may have to postpone their enrollment due to health reasons or family reasons."
"Today is the deadline for admission. All new students must report before this date."
Qin Shi was stunned.
"In other words, all the new students today, regardless of any special circumstances, have arrived at school?"
Teacher Qingzhi nodded.
"You can say that."
After listening to Qing Zhi's words, Qin Shi instantly thought of a possibility.
"Teacher, do you know the basic information of all the new students? Especially the inheritance information."
Qingzhi smiled slightly and patted his chest.
"Of course. I'm the director of the admissions office. Our college only has a little over a thousand new students each year. I have all their basic information memorized."
"Is there any Demon Slayer inheritance?"
Qin Shi continued to ask.
"There are seven people, and your roommate Li Shanyi is one of them."
Teacher Qingzhi said affirmatively.
"Then...is there a legacy of Tanjiro Kamado or a legacy of Nezuko Kamado?"
Qin Shi felt that he was about to get the answer.
"Why do you ask this?"
Although confused, Teacher Qingzhi still gave an answer.
"Tanjiro Kamado's inheritance doesn't exist, but Nezuko Kamado's inheritance does exist."
"It's a girl in Mr. Arnold's class."
"Is there anything special about her heritage?"
The people in this world rely on the book of inheritance to obtain inheritance information, and have no idea that Tanjiro Kamado and Nezuko Kamado are the main characters in Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba.
Moreover, due to the incompleteness of the inheritance book, the inheritance information they obtained was mostly distorted and could only serve as a simple reference.
The mystery has been solved, and Qin Shi breathed a sigh of relief.
"If I'm not mistaken, this shadow demon is here for the girl that Nezuko Kamado inherited."
“Many characters in the Demon Slayer world are not fully described in the inheritance book, but I… have heard a rumor.”
Due to the lack of inheritance books, people would make up plausible stories about various inheritance figures, and when they were spread too many times, they became rumors.
Qin Shi intended to use this statement to cover up the fact that he knew the strangeness of the anime plot.
"It is rumored that in the world of Demon Slayer, all demons who have been given blood by Muzan Kibutsuji are afraid of the sun, except for one person who can still move normally in the sun after being given blood."
"That's Nezuko Kamado."
Teacher Qingzhi was shocked, "There is such a rumor!?"
He immediately guessed what Qin Shi meant.
If this rumor is true, then this successor of "Nezuko Kamado" is a very important figure to the Hundred Demons Group.
For ghosts, sunlight is the biggest enemy.
But now, they may find a way to no longer be afraid of the sun from the inheritor of "Nezuko Kamado".
