Chapter 581 Investigation!
In the next few days, more and more intelligence came to Shinji.
Among them, there is valuable information obtained by the Demon Slayer Team after making many sacrifices, some clues tortured from ghosts, and various information collected from human society.
After summarizing this information one by one, Shinji came to a surprising conclusion.
The ghost is out of control!
This is not just one or two ghosts that are out of control, but as a collective, or as a population, ghosts are getting out of control.
This kind of loss of control starts from the lowest level ghosts.
Frequent ghost attacks have occurred in various places during this period, which is the most direct impact of this loss of control!
As time goes by, this out-of-control phenomenon gradually spreads from low-level ghosts to high-level ghosts.
Like a virus.
For example, the president's wife was coerced by Shinji. Except for her bloodthirsty nature, she was no different from ordinary people before, so she could always lurk in the upper echelons of human society.
But just yesterday, the president's wife suddenly went berserk and turned into a bloodthirsty monster. She slaughtered all the servants and subordinates in her mansion and then disappeared without a trace.
And this is not an isolated case!
Through investigation, Xiang Phosphorus discovered that many ghosts lurking in the upper echelons of human society have suddenly gone crazy recently, causing a large number of horrific bloodshed.
The source of all this is probably the mysterious man who is the King of Ghosts!
A high mountain outside Kyoto.
Shinji looked at the dead city in the distance with a solemn expression.
During these days of fighting against the invasion of the Demon Slayer World, he could clearly feel that the world was collapsing, and all order and rules seemed to be loosening and distorting.
"Is this the consequence of being targeted by the overlord?"
For a moment, Shinji felt a chill seeping into his heart!
Others may not notice this change, but as the 'Lamp Bearer', he can clearly feel that the world of Demon Slayer is collapsing, and the power of the Overlord is penetrating the barrier and affecting this place. And this kind of power that can affect the entire world and cause the world to become distorted and distorted is really beyond his imagination.
Suddenly, a team appeared at the foot of the mountain heading towards Kyoto.
Shinji glanced at it and then looked away.
This team advancing towards Kyoto is the elite Demon Slayer team led by Shiro, and their mission is to investigate the situation in Kyoto.
Looking at the deathly silence all around, Zenitsu said: "This is too scary!"
"Humph, coward!"
Immortal Kawagenya snorted coldly. Zenitsu was a little dissatisfied: "Isn't it terrible
that a whole city suddenly lost news?" The two said, "Is this the time to argue?" Nezuko was the strongest swordsman in the Demon Slayer Team besides Shiro, so Zenitsu and Genya both stopped. With the sharp increase in ghost attacks on people, and the ghosts lurking in high-level human beings losing control one by one, the existence of ghosts can no longer be concealed and has become known to the world. Coupled with the sudden cutoff of news from several cities, this plunged the entire human society into an unprecedented panic. Under such circumstances, doomsday theories became rampant. The Demon Slayer Squad naturally sneered at this. In their opinion, the source of this panic was nothing but ghosts! Nezuko quickened his pace and came to Bai's side: "Bing, Kyoto is ahead, do you want to enter now?" Bai nodded lightly, and then said to the people behind him: "There are already more than a dozen swordsmen in the city. He's missing, so everyone must be careful this time and don't act privately!" "Yes!" Everyone in the Demon Slayer Team nodded. Soon, the demon killing team led by Bai entered Kyoto. Unlike the imagined ruins and rivers of blood, everything in the city has not changed much, except that the people are missing! Inosuke walked out of a store and muttered: "It's strange, why can't I find anyone?" Others in the team also came out of the shops and houses along the street, shaking their heads at Shiro standing in the middle of the long street. . Bai frowned slightly. Although the streets were a bit messy, with various objects scattered on the ground and vehicles placed randomly, the entire city did not seem to have experienced a war. After a while, the team gathered together. Xuanya said: "The whole street has been searched, there is no one, and there is no ghost!" Chanel added: "There is not even blood!" Nezuko glanced at the dim sky above his head and asked in dialogue: "Bing , It's getting late, do you still want to continue the in-depth investigation?" "Yes!" Bai nodded. His investigation of Kyoto was ordered by Shinji. The purpose was not only to find out what happened in Kyoto, but also to determine whether the mysterious person was hiding here, so naturally he would not turn back easily. The team continued deeper into the deserted streets. As time went by, the already gloomy sky completely dimmed. The Demon Slayer Squad has been accustomed to fighting ghosts at night, so the fall of night did not make everyone timid. Each pillar maintained the formation, and the lower swordsmen lit torches one after another. Against the backdrop of the firelight, the entire team and the city looked brighter. A bit out of place. But despite this, the team still moved forward firmly in the dark city. After an unknown amount of time, Bai, the leader, suddenly stopped. Everyone in the team immediately stopped and became alert in a tacit understanding. Nezuko came closer and asked in a low voice: "What's wrong?" Shiro listened attentively and said: "Listen!" At Shiro's prompt, all the demon slayer swordsmen The soldiers all held their breath and listened. This deserted city was already eerily quiet, so after everyone stopped and held their breath, the only sounds left around were the gentle breathing of people and the sound of torches. After a few more breaths, everyone faintly heard a slight sound wrapped in the wind. Zenitsu asked doubtfully: "Is it the sound of the wind?" Bai shook his head: "No, it's the sound of footsteps, many, many footsteps! Everyone, be careful, something is coming towards us!" After Bai shouted a warning, everyone Suddenly my heart trembled. At this time, the sound wrapped in the wind became louder and louder, and everyone finally heard clearly that the sound was indeed footsteps, and there were many, many, dense footsteps. The swordsmen all became nervous when they realized what was going on. Everyone immediately tightened their formation and formed a circle back to back. Xuan Mi even roared angrily: "What are you doing standing still? Set the surrounding houses on fire!"
Upon hearing this, the swordsmen immediately threw their torches and set fire to the surrounding houses. As the fire ignited, the surrounding area gradually became brighter, reflecting the layers of figures in the shadows. There is only one update today, sorry
