Infinity Starting with Hikaru no Go

On the other side, inside the Asakusa restricted area.

A player who has not yet turned into a ghost is reporting the recent situation in Asakusa Castle to Taotie.

"Recently, there have been more and more players in Asakusa Castle. I don't know where they got their Nichirin Blades, but they have already killed many ordinary demons."

After hearing the player's information, Taotie narrowed his eyes and glanced at him, saying, "You did very well. Once this operation is over, I will immediately grant you infinite life and extraordinary power."

"Go, go and gather more intelligence for me."

Taotie's words made the player leave in ecstasy.

After the player left, one of the ghosts among the players present chuckled, "Haha, that idiot, he had no idea what his fate was..."

"That's the inherent weakness of human nature; just a little bit of sweetness and they'll lose their bearings..."

"Heh heh, as if we didn't have such inherent flaws when we were human..."

"Come to think of it, it seems we became ghosts in a way that's akin to treachery..."

......

Amidst the laughter of the ghosts, one ghost couldn't help but ask, "Lord Taotie, should I take care of a group of players first? After all, players also have cheat codes, allowing them to continuously kill ghosts and become stronger."

After this ghost spoke, one after another, other ghosts spoke up, saying, "I can help too!"

"Lord Taotie, I volunteer for battle!"

"I am already thirsting for battle!"

......

Amidst the clamor of the demons urging for battle, Taotie, who had somehow taken up his throne, comfortably said, "No rush," while enjoying the shoulder massage service from the fifth lower-ranking demon, the girl who had set the trap to capture the Holy Son.

"There's only one day left until the agreed time. We should remain still and not make any big fuss before then, otherwise it will be difficult to explain to Lord Muzan if we scare Chen Anxia away."

"As for those players, let them kill ghosts if they want. They're just killing ordinary ghosts anyway, so even if they do, it won't improve their strength much, and they won't pose any threat to us at all."

"Afterwards, we can create as many ordinary ghosts as we want."

"This can also be used as a smokescreen to lull those guys into a false sense of security."

As it spoke, Taotie's gaze involuntarily fell upon a figure locked in a cage to the side, dressed like a beggar, constantly torturing himself, resembling a wild beast.

"Hungry...hungry...hungry..."

A hoarse, angry, and frantic voice came intermittently from inside the cage.

The sound pleased Taotie greatly, and he said, "Just bear with it a little longer, and soon, very soon you will be able to have a feast."

"The prerequisite is that you can torture and kill your teacher..."

"Hehe, hahaha... Chen Anxia, ​​hurry up and come! I can't wait to see a dramatic love-hate relationship between master and disciple..."

That's right, the figure in the cage, resembling a beggar and a wild beast, is none other than the Holy Son of the Osaka.

Because he was forced to accept the blood of Lower Moon Five, Oku Seiko has been transformed into a demon, and in the initial stage, he has lost all reason and is only driven by instinct.

At least, that's how Taotie sees it.

The gluttonous beast, engrossed in its laughter and anticipation, failed to notice that when it uttered the name 'Chen Anxia,' the Holy Son of Ao, who should have lost all reason, trembled uncontrollably.

Even on his face, which was hidden by his disheveled hair and should have only shown bloodlust and desire, a look of confusion appeared.

It was as if the name 'Chen Anxia' possessed some kind of magic, directly suppressing the demonic instincts and awakening a trace of reason belonging to the Holy Son of Ao.

Meanwhile, in a dilapidated house not far away, Kokushibo seemed to be taking a nap with his eyes closed.

Upon hearing Taotie's words, Kokushibo did not open his six eyes, but slowly uttered, "Boring..."

Not only Kokushibo, but the other Twelve Demon Moons hidden in the Asakusa Forbidden Zone also heard Taotie's words.

Some of them agreed with the Taotie, while others, like Heishimou, found the matter uninteresting.

Currently, the only ones who know that the Twelve Demon Moons are hidden in the Asakusa Forbidden Zone are Taotie and Lower Moon Five, who are also members of the Twelve Demon Moons.

The reason why Taotie explained so much was largely because it was for the Twelve Demon Moons to hear, and also for Muzan Kibutsuji to hear.

On that very day, Kyoko Tsugikuni, following the guidance of the bloodline, arrived in Asakusa.

This also means that Chen Anxia was already inside Asakusa Castle.

Suddenly, a storm was brewing.

......

Chapter 544 Transform into an Asura, and Annihilate You All!

Asakusa, inside a villa hidden within a Blood Demon Art barrier.

Looking at the falling night, Chen Anxia stood up and said, "I have to go now. I'll leave the rest to you, Miss Tamayo."

Seeing this, Tamayo also stood up and solemnly said to Chen Anxia, ​​"Don't worry, I will definitely develop a medicine that can turn demons back into humans!"

Upon hearing this, Chen Anxia smiled slightly and said, "Ah, I believe you."

Without further hesitation, Chen Anxia left the Blood Demon Art barrier and headed towards the Asakusa Forbidden Zone.

Watching Chen Anxia's disappearing figure, Tamayo remained silent for a moment, then looked up at the waning moon veiled in red, murmuring, "Chen Anxia, ​​truly a remarkable human being..."

"Give you enough time, I believe you will definitely be able to surpass him..."

As she spoke, Tamayo couldn't help but recall the scene of meeting Yoriichi Tsugikuni more than four hundred years ago.

Then, Tamayo put aside all her distracting thoughts and said to Yushiro beside her, "Yushiro, get ready, we're leaving Asakusa right away."

Upon hearing this, Yushiro didn't say much and went straight to make preparations.

The reason Tamayo was in such a hurry to leave Asakusa was because she carried the hope of turning demons back into humans.

Therefore, Tamayo could not allow this hope to be shattered under any circumstances.

However, although Tamayo left, some of the special player demons created by her voluntarily stayed behind.

After this period of integration, they have all realized that the world of Demon Slayer is not just a simple game world, but more like a living, real world.

The humans living in this world are not NPCs made of data, but real, flesh-and-blood people.

Therefore, they could not stand idly by and tolerate the Taotie and other ghosts, who were also players, committing a massacre in this world. They had to organize the Taotie and his gang of ghosts.

Meanwhile, inside Asakusa Castle.

After nightfall, the ghosts hidden in every corner come out and begin their hunting activities.

Naturally, the players, the Demon Slayer Corps, and others also took action and began their respective hunting operations.

Demon hunters and human hunters hunting demons have become the norm in Asakusa for the past month.

But tonight is a little different.

Because tonight, the Asakusa restricted area, which had never been entered before, finally welcomed its first human.

This human being is none other than Chen Anxia.

Chen Anxia had barely stepped into the Asakusa restricted area when he was spotted by four player ghosts who were preparing to venture out at night.

When the four player ghosts first discovered Chen Anxia, ​​they were stunned and didn't react for a moment.

But quickly, the four player ghosts realized what was happening and pointed at Chen Anxia, ​​exclaiming in surprise, "You're Chen Anxia!?"

Although they had never met Chen Anxia, ​​they had seen his portrait. In addition, Chen Anxia's appearance and temperament were outstanding, which made them recognize him immediately.

Chen Anxia didn't care at all about being recognized, and her expression didn't change in the slightest.

Chen Anxia looked at the four player ghosts before him with his deep and cold eyes and asked, "I've arrived. Where is the Holy Son?"

After confirming Chen Anxia's identity, the four player ghosts became extremely excited, each uttering somewhat manic words.

"Haha, how lucky we are to have met Chen Anxia!"

"As long as we capture Chen Anxia first, we will definitely receive Lord Taotie's reward!"

"Opportunity knocks but once! Brothers, I'm going first!"

"You little piece of trash, you sneak attack!"

......

Amidst these frenzied cries, the four player ghosts charged towards Chen Anxia, ​​intending to capture him in one fell swoop.

Clearly, these four player ghosts have not yet realized the seriousness of the situation, nor do they know the terror they are facing.

Nowadays, they are like frogs at the bottom of a well, misled by the power of ghosts, and full of confidence in themselves.

Just as they were approaching Chen Anxia with savage grins, they suddenly realized that Chen Anxia had disappeared from their sight at some point.

And this disappearance is permanent.

Because their heads had already been severed by Chen Anxia, ​​they could only turn to ashes and disappear into this world with doubt and resentment.

Without pausing for a moment, Chen Anxia continued deeper into the Asakusa restricted area.

As Chen Anxia delved deeper into the mystery, he encountered wave after wave of ghosts.

These ghosts include those of players and those of the original inhabitants.

Without exception, all of these ghosts perished under Chen Anxia's blade.

Chen Anxia also obtained the information he wanted through these ghosts.

As for whether the information was true or not, Chen Anxia didn't care; she would just go and verify it.

Soon, news of Chen Anxia's appearance reached Taotie and the ears of the Twelve Ghost Moons, who were hiding in the Asakusa Forbidden Zone.

In Taotie's stronghold, the moment Taotie learned of this news, his face showed excitement, anticipation, and longing.

Without any hesitation, Taotie directly carried the large iron cage imprisoning the Holy Son of Ao and headed towards Chen Anxia's location.

Soon, the Taotie on the roof met Chen Anxia below.

Taotie, carrying a large iron cage, looked down at Chen Anxia under the moonlight and grinned, "Chen Anxia, ​​I've prepared a special gift for you. I hope you'll like it!"

As he spoke, Taotie opened the large iron cage he was carrying and smashed it directly at Chen Anxia.

Chen Anxia, ​​through his extraordinary sense of smell, had already detected the Holy Son of Ao in the iron cage and knew from the smell that the Holy Son of Ao had become a ghost.

But Chen Anxia did not become enraged like a madman; instead, she became increasingly calm, so calm that her aura began to turn icy.
