Life at Hunter x Hunter

Chapter 447: The meeting of the pillars, confused minds

Ever since the appearance of monsters, there has been a voice among the human community, which is whether humans can live in harmony with monsters.

After all, in Neon some monsters are regarded as "gods".

Of course, it is also because the monsters under Lucci are not so bloodthirsty. The main reason is that the monsters he created do not necessarily eat humans.

Lucci placed some emphasis on this point when it came to the transformation of the ghost blood.

If there could only be this kind of food, then it would be a complete opposite.

It’s just a bit of a pity that it is, after all, a mutated monster, not like some other monsters that can become stronger through fear and faith.

"Yes, there are some things that we cannot change, and the monsters in Kyoto are indeed a little different."

This situation is not something that Ubuyashiki Yowen can change, as the bigwigs above will not listen to him.

Although the Ubuyashiki family has some reputation and assets in Japan, it is nothing in the aristocratic class.

Of course, Ubuyashiki Yowen also knew that this was not just information, but also a deeper level of cooperation.

At this time, the Japanese official has already reopened Onmyoji.

There are even some rumors that they are setting up their own supernatural official organization to deal with the problem of ghosts and monsters in the country.

Because he has been cooperating with the priest clan, Uzumaki Yowen received this news.

As far as he knew, the priests of Inari Shrine were already in contact with the fox demon among the monsters.

With the large-scale appearance of monsters and ghosts, many temples and shrines have been affected.

In addition to the official, there are also private ones.

Among these wizards and priests, few have real abilities, and not all of them are pure-hearted clergymen.

Even to some people, this is still an opportunity.

Although it is not modern yet, it is still modern now, and there are some things that people will not believe.

If this were a world without the supernatural, then as we enter the modern era, the authority of many things would be questioned.

But it is different in this world. In order to maintain their own status and to gain a higher status, some people do not mind cooperating with monsters.

This is the human heart.

It is not something that Ubuyashiki Yowen can stop, and he even has to worry about the changes in the Demon Slayer Corps.

In other words, official institutions cannot be established in a short period of time, and even if they are established, they still require time to accumulate.

Otherwise, it is very likely that they will directly rebel against Tiangang and replace the Demon Slayer Corps.

Ubuyashiki Yowen only talked about some matters concerning the official's cooperation with monsters.

Of course, they also mentioned that the monsters they were cooperating with would not eat humans, so they didn't care whether they would hurt people or not.

For the Demon Slayer Corps, this is an additional level of information exchange.

You can get more information about ghosts.

Even humans are suspecting that the monsters are using them to eliminate the influence of the demons.

Monsters and ghosts will also fight.

Ghosts that are transformed from animals are different from ghosts that are transformed from humans.

Different habits will naturally lead to conflicts, which is also good news for Japanese officials.

Let's talk about the monsters in Kyoto.

Then comes the main topic, the crusade against the Twelve Ghost Months.

First of all, a ghost with spatial abilities is very troublesome, because as long as the opponent is focused on hiding and escaping, it will not be easy to find and kill him.

Linlong Sakonji had such concerns, especially since he didn't know what kind of space blood demon magic it was.

Without waiting for Linlong Sakonji to express his concerns.

Some people in the column were already dissatisfied.

"I joined the Demon Slayer Corps just to become stronger. After becoming a pillar, I also killed a lot of demons, but I don't plan to risk my life for you."

The speaker was Dong Zhu, whose name was Onishi Masaki, a sturdy man in his twenties with a scar on his face.

He is not a pure member of the Demon Slayer Corps. He was originally a samurai under a noble. However, he was involved in the appearance of demons and monsters.

He realized his own weakness and joined the Demon Slayer Corps in order to become stronger.

At the same time, although he did not fight in the battle with the Twelve Demon Moons two years ago, he learned some information and knew how dangerous the battle with the Twelve Demon Moons would be.

He was not willing to risk his life.

Of course, Xia Zhu also had the same idea as him, with a similar identity and idea.

They are all people who are unwilling to take risks.

Such people would never become pillars unless they were truly powerful.

In addition to these are the people standing behind them. The Demon Slayer Corps is no longer a one-man show led by Ubuyashiki Yowen.

It is impossible to conquer everyone with personal charm, and the Ubuyashiki family does not have great personal charm.

These words made the five pillars of the initial breathing method very unhappy.

Even started quarreling.

"Regarding the battle with the Twelve Demon Moons, I will not force you to participate, but those of you who do not intend to fight will need to trouble you during the period."

This time Dong Zhu and Xia Zhu did not refuse.

Ubuyashiki Yowen is not so naive as to ask all of them to listen to him.

Because of the previous experience, Ubuyashiki Yowen's idea was very simple, to gather as much strength as possible and kill the Twelve Demon Moons in one fell swoop.

Minimize casualties as much as possible.

"If anyone doesn't plan to participate, please raise the issue now."

Ubuyashiki Yoon asked.

"I can participate, but I also have conditions." The strong pillar Dujima Hisahito spoke.

People who don't have a deep hatred for ghosts naturally have conditions.

Why are all the people joining the Demon Slayer Corps young? Young people's hatred is more intense, while ordinary adults are more likely to compromise with reality.

So there are a lot of young people in the plot (of course, it is a shonen manga after all.)

Among the pillars present, except Rengoku Makijuro, all were over twenty years old.

"you say!"

"I want to meet the founder of the breathing method." When Busujima Hisato made this request, everyone else looked over.

Among the Pillars, besides Rengoku Makijuro, only the Water Pillar and the Sound Pillar, the two older generations, knew about it.

Ubuyashiki Yowen wanted to perfunctorily reply: "I should have said that the person who created the breathing method was many years ago."

"I know, but I'm not talking about the founder of the original breathing method, but the founder who created many breathing methods now."

Although there are many breathing techniques in the plot, the fact is that that time point was already one of the most powerful periods in the history of the Demon Slayer Corps.

Creating a new breathing method is not easy, at least not for these newly joined warriors.

"Every once in a while, a new breathing method emerges. I want to meet the founder."

And Busujima Hisato can be very sure that the founder is definitely not among the pillars.

As a battle maniac, Busujima Hisato had in-depth exchanges with every pillar. These were not just exchanges that involved just one or two battles, but many exchanges.

This means that there is still a strong man hidden in the Demon Slayer Corps.

In fact, as long as you pay attention to this point, you can't hide it at all. It is impossible to hide it in order to develop breathing techniques.

Nowadays, there are many powerful people among the Class-A Demon Slayer Corps under the Pillars.

These are all brought about by different breathing methods, and everyone has their own suitable breathing method.

The difference between getting half the result with twice the effort and getting twice the result with half the effort is huge.

There was a brief silence in the conference room.

In fact, it wasn't just Busujima Hisato who was curious, the Pillars who were unaware of the inside story were also curious, as were the people behind them.

"He doesn't have that much strength." Ubuyashiki Yowen was also answering Busujima Hisato's question.

He knew Busujima Hisato's character very well. If it was the Winter Pillar or the Summer Pillar who brought it up, there was no doubt that the people behind them must have some ideas.

But Busujima Hisato is different.

Before joining the Demon Slayer Corps, Busujima-ryu was considered a well-known kendo school in Japan, and Busujima Hisato was a battle maniac.

Before he learned the breathing technique, he had fought against ghosts. In the early days when ghosts and monsters were not rampant, he was called a ghost man and a killer ghost.

Busujima Hisato may want to compete with the founder of the breathing method.

"My lord, there is no need to say these words. I am different from them. I just want to fight them." Busujima Hisato expressed his thoughts.

"I'm not lying. Since you mentioned this and you are the pillars of the Demon Slayer Corps, then I don't need to hide it from you."

As the Demon Slayer Corps becomes more and more formalized, the Pillar is no longer just a title, but involves official intervention and solicitation.

The pillars of the Demon Slayer Corps also have power now.

They have their own team members under their command.

If it continues to develop, it might become like the Gotei 13.

In other words, Ubuyashiki still holds the conditions for joining the Demon Slayer Corps.

But he also knew that the Demon Slayer Corps' breathing method was being leaked.

He couldn't stop it, and could only try his best to prevent the ghost from learning how to practice the breathing technique.

Breathing techniques are useful for humans and also for ghosts.

I'm afraid that among all the breathing techniques, only the Sun Breathing Technique cannot be learned by ghosts.

Ubuyashiki Yaowen did not directly talk about Lucci's situation, but started with the Ubuyashiki clan.

The main focus is on the origin of the ghost and the curse of the Ubuyashiki clan.

Of course, the Ubuyashiki clan may not have recorded many situations, but Lucci had the ability to "dream" and was able to tell some of the situations.

Of course, there is also the further creation of the title of "Child of Destiny".

Since there are other extraordinary powers, he will naturally not limit himself to breathing techniques, but also dabble in Yin-Yang techniques.

It's just a lot more troublesome than in the Re:Zero world.

That world has a large library that can be directly accessed, but this world is more troublesome, and many things may require you to comprehend them yourself.

It also let the pillars present know the reason why the lord's family died young.

This was also the first time that the Water Pillar and the Sound Pillar heard such news.

"The past is no longer traceable. When an alien is born in this world, there will be a corresponding person of destiny who can control it. According to their different experiences, they will also bring different restraining forces to this world..."

This part is Lucci's analysis, and it is also deliberately fabricated in order to build his own character.

"The former mages, onmyojis, priests, and shrine maidens, and the clergy of other countries may also come from here..."

Rengoku Makijuro was not the first person to hear these words, after all, these words came from his younger brother.

My younger brother dreamed about many things from the past.

“And the same is true of the founder of the Breathing Method.”

"Then the person who created so many breathing methods is a child of destiny." Busujima Hisato couldn't help but stand up.

Then several forces rose.

Because this behavior is a bit excessive, Japan has a strict hierarchy, and although they also like to rebel against their superiors, it is not in this situation.

Busujima Hisato realized that he had lost his composure and immediately stepped down.

Of course, Ubuyashiki Yowen also forgave him generously.

Instead, he continued, “I don’t know much about the so-called Child of Destiny, but the Child of Destiny is not born powerful.”

Anyone with a little bit of intelligence can understand the meaning behind Ubuyashiki Yoon's words.

"Powerful comprehension?" And Busujima Hisato simply said it out loud.

Insight is a kind of aptitude and talent. It means learning things quickly and being able to apply what you have learned to other situations.

He had done the same when practicing Busujima-ryu, and improved Busujima-ryu's swordsmanship. He also had a good talent for breathing techniques, and tried to improve the breathing techniques and pass them on to Busujima-ryu's disciples.

He also created it, but its effect was not as good as the breathing method used by the Demon Slayer Corps.

It can be said that he is very clear about one of the functions of perception.

So the founder of the breathing method was still very young, but his strong understanding enabled him to create so many breathing methods.

"I can't tell you who he is. I can only tell you that he is very young. He is only six years old."

Ubuyashiki Yowen shared the news.

"My lord, you mean that the child is only six years old." Huanzhu spoke suddenly, and his voice became much louder. At the same time, there was a hint of confusion in his tone, which was somewhat different from his usual calmness.

"That's right." Ubuyashiki Yowen answered with certainty.

"My lord, you said before that the birth of the Child of Destiny was to restrain some kind of alien." As soon as Huanzhu said this.

Everyone thought of it, and the monsters only slowly appeared six years ago.

Ubuyashiki Yaowen also trembled all over. He actually failed to notice such an obvious thing.

In that case, the child’s talent might not be in breathing techniques, but in magic such as Yin-Yang magic!

Or is it that another great Onmyoji like Abe Haruaki is about to appear?

The monster appeared suddenly, but no one knew why it appeared.

Is it the birth of a certain monster ancestor?

Information about various monsters in the rumors flashed quickly through Ubuyashiki Yowen's mind.

I didn't expect that at a meeting to discuss the combination of the Twelve Demon Moons, such information would suddenly be discovered.

Considering the harm caused by Muzan Kibutsuji, could monsters cause even greater harm?

Even if they are still "peaceful" now?

And could the monster in Kyoto be that alien?

It wasn't just Ubuyashiki Yowen who was confused, everyone present was the same.
