This aura is definitely not from an ordinary evil spirit!
Akira Moriyama, having experienced many big events with Ryosuke, reacted extremely quickly despite cursing inwardly.
He organized his team to immediately maintain a defensive posture, not to scatter, and to find an opportunity to work together to kill him.
Under his command, the team members quickly formed a defensive formation and moved around, trying to find the source of the aura.
Fifteen minutes after they left, a figure with a bewitching face and a golden fan emerged from the shadows.
Doma squatted down where his companion had died, scratched his cheek with his index finger, and a hint of doubt flashed in his eyes.
"Eh~ Eh~?"
He let out a soft, ambiguous exclamation: "Where's the Demon Slayer Corps' aura? It was just here..."
Tongmo leaped onto the roof ridge.
Under the moonlight, he gently fanned himself with a golden fan, stirring up wisps of cold mist, his seven-colored eyes scanning the town below.
However, there was no living person in sight, and their presence was faint, as if they were far away.
Doma leaped off the house and gave chase, his senses fully activated.
But whenever he got close to the other person, that aura would unexpectedly and quickly recede away.
A moment later, they appeared in an unexpected location.
Once is a coincidence, twice is good luck, but several times in a row...
Doma's smile faded slightly.
This feeling is very strange.
The other side wasn't fleeing in fear; it was more like they were playing hide-and-seek...
To be precise, it was a deliberate provocation and mockery of him!
"interesting--"
With a wave of his golden fan, Tong Mo caused the cold mist to condense.
Blood Demon Art: Crystal Child!
Three ice crystal puppets instantly materialized and sped off in three directions to conduct a thorough search.
He wanted to see who this arrogant ghost hunter was!
However, what Douma didn't expect was...
Akira Moriyama and his team were also frantically searching for him!
Akira Moriyama's sensibilities are mirror images of Doma's.
Each time he pinpointed the other's location, the ghostly aura would sweep past in the opposite direction he predicted.
"What the hell is this thing doing?" Akira Moriyama was completely baffled.
The other team members felt ashamed.
"Um, senior, did we go to the wrong place...?"
"Impossible! How could I have gone to the wrong place! My eyes are my ruler!"
Akira Moriyama exuded an aura of righteous indignation.
But in fact, he really went the wrong way.
Akira Moriyama is a complete directional idiot with an extremely poor sense of direction.
Even now, he sometimes gets lost in towns and forests.
Otherwise, when Akira Moriyama first joined the Demon Slayer Corps, there wouldn't have been the blunder of going to the wrong mission location.
Although the mission was eventually completed.
But in this era without navigation, his terrible sense of direction is a constant torment for him.
But Lady Luck smiled upon him once again.
In a daze, he relied on his intuition to perfectly avoid all of Doma and the Ice Crystal Doll's search routes.
Every time he took the wrong turn, in Doma's perception, it became an elusive displacement and provocation.
As the first hint of dawn appeared on the horizon, the sun was about to rise.
Doma stood in a dead end, his smile completely vanished.
Grass! (a plant)
As the dignified Upper Moon Two, he felt incredibly frustrated! Utterly frustrated!
It feels like Lanling King is following you in stealth mode.
The exclamation mark above your head is always there, but you can't find it!
This slut doesn't hit you or steal your resources, she just stares at you like that!
No, this person is sick!
Besides Ryosuke, Akira Moriyama is the second person to receive this evaluation.
Doma gritted his teeth and took a deep breath.
Is there a single normal person in your generation of Demon Slayer Corps?!
That damned Ryosuke Yasui!
Now another guy has appeared and is walking him like a dog!
I am the Upper Moon Two!
Can't you at least show me some respect?
Despite his reluctance, under the threat of the sunlight, Doma had no choice but to leave dejectedly.
Looking at the mission briefing, Ryosuke's expression was particularly interesting.
He suppressed a laugh and glanced at the last column of the task summary written by Moriyama Akira.
Rank D swordsman Akira Moriyama reports:
As dawn broke, the terrifying aura completely vanished.
Although the subordinates and team members did not directly engage the target, the intense mental chase throughout the night had taken a heavy toll on them.
This evil spirit is of unfathomable strength, moves mysteriously, and its intentions are unclear. It is recommended to raise the alert level for this area.
Furthermore... I sincerely suggest that task scheduling should take into account the team members' sense of direction.
Newcomers always have doubts and need more experience.
My subordinates are truly exhausted.
Chapter 143 You might make a small profit, but I'll never lose.
Ryosuke closed the presentation, his shoulders shrugged, and he couldn't help but laugh out loud.
Akira Moriyama, that bastard, didn't realize he'd led us astray until the very end.
He roamed around Doma all night, which, from another perspective, was practically a solo run!
They even have material for bragging!
Do you even realize the significance of getting your clothes slightly dirty after a night of battling with Upper Moon Two?
"I was also surprised when this briefing was first presented to me."
Kagaya shook his head and chuckled: "Subsequent investigations revealed that this demon with impure motives was Upper Moon Two, Doma."
Yaozai's tone was indifferent, without a trace of blame.
"I have to admit that without Akira Moriyama leading the way, none of this team would have survived."
"The twists and turns of fate are truly wondrous."
Clearly, Kagaya also realized something.
But he didn't say it explicitly, only attributing the situation to fate.
Ryosuke smiled but didn't reply.
He never expected that Kanae's predicament in the original work would be resolved in such a comical way.
The exchange with Kagaya ended in tacit understanding.
Regarding the matter of Akira Moriyama, both of them tacitly agreed not to delve into it further.
After leaving the Ubuyashiki family's house, Ryosuke pondered his next move.
Kanroji Mitsuri joined smoothly, and with Kyojuro guiding her to build a foundation, it's only a matter of time before she grows up.
Now, only Muichiro remains of the Nine Pillars' fighting strength.
Thinking of this, Ryosuke sighed.
According to the original timeline, Ichiro had already sacrificed himself by this time, and Muichiro had also lost his memory and joined the Demon Slayer Corps.
With his extraordinary talent, he's probably already close to becoming a pillar of light.
Now, due to Ryosuke's intervention, the growth of top-tier combatants has been delayed.
In return, Ichiro lost his life.
Muichiro didn't have to go through that tragedy, and his personality changed from timid and confused to cheerful.
Delaying one pillar-level combatant is equivalent to gaining two pillar-level combatants.
You might make a small profit, but I will never lose money.
His thoughts raced, but Ryosuke's steps did not falter.
In the afternoon, he approached the cabin in the woods.
Before he even got close, Ryosuke heard a regular "tap tap" sound.
In the distance, on an open ground, Muichiro was holding a machete and chopping at a large tree.
