Chapter 68 Attack and Defense Transition Chapter 68 Attack and Defense Transition
On the other side, Tanjiro and others on the Infinite Train finally discovered the true identity of One of the Lower Moons, Nightmare.
In the end, Tanjiro used the powerful move "Fire God Kagura: Blue Sky" to gather all his strength, cut the train in half with one sword, and completely defeated Nightmare.
This knife not only cut off the body of the train, but also cut off Nightmare's life, leading to his death.
As Nightmare died, the train began to shake violently, like a wounded beast in its death throes.
The friction between the rails and the wheels was sharp and piercing, and the entire train seemed like it might run off the tracks and fall into the abyss at any time.
Fortunately, the passengers in the car were still immersed in the nightmare of vampire magic and were unaware of the danger from the outside world. Otherwise, seeing this scene would surely have put them into extreme panic and fear.
Just as the members of the Demon Slayer Corps were about to step forward to rescue the ordinary people on the train, suddenly, a beam of blazing flame burst out from the window on the side of the train and shot straight into the sky.
This flame circled in the air like a giant dragon, making a rumbling sound, so that the train that was about to run off the track was pulled back by it and returned steadily to the track.
Under the illumination of the flames, the train body shone brightly, as if it was given new life.
The originally cold and hard metals, now wrapped in flames, actually revealed a warm and soft feeling.
As the flames gradually dissipated, the shaking of the train slowly calmed down, as if everything had returned to peace and order.
A minute later, Rengoku Kyojuro carried the unconscious Tanjiro and walked down from the Infinite Train with Agatsuma Zenitsu and others.
A flame-shaped pattern appeared on Rengoku Kyojuro's forehead.
"Is everyone okay?"
After meeting up with Lin Yi and his group, Rengoku Kyojuro looked at everyone with deep concern.
Fushigawa Miya was lying on a stretcher. Although his body was wrapped in bandages, his face showed a nonchalant expression.
For him, as long as he is alive, he is earning money.
Although Shinobu Kocho's physical condition was worrying, her mental state was surprisingly good.
Ever since she avenged her sister, the depression in Shinobu Kocho's heart seemed to have been completely released. Her smile now gives people a feeling of being bathed in spring breeze, which is completely different from the forced smile before.
At the same time, Ubuyashiki Yoya, who was far away at the Demon Slayer Corps headquarters, also received the news.
Upon learning that two more people were killed during the waxing moon, Ubuyashiki Yoya could no longer remain calm, and his clenched fists revealed his inner excitement.
This victory was not only an opportunity to boost the morale of the Demon Slayer Corps, but also a key turning point that changed the entire battle situation.
To this end, he ordered a grand celebration banquet to be prepared for the returning heroes, so that every team member could feel the hard-earned glory and joy.
Ubuyashiki Yoya did not become obsessed with the joy of victory.
He clearly realized that after this battle, the balance of power between the Demon Slayer Corps and Muzan Kibutsuji had undergone a drastic change.
Now, among the Twelve Demon Moons under Muzan Kibutsuji, the Waning Moon has been completely wiped out, and the Waxing Moon has also lost three of its generals. This is undoubtedly a heavy blow to the evil demon camp.
As for Yun Xi, who joined the battle later, Ubuyashiki Yoya did not regard her as much of a threat.
In his opinion, Yun Xi was more like a character that Muzan Kibutsuji casually recruited in order to make up for his losses in a panic.
He began to formulate a detailed strategic plan, preparing to take advantage of this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to completely eradicate Muzan Kibutsuji, the evil demon leader who was wreaking havoc on the world.
After many hardships, the group finally returned to the Demon Slayer Corps' base.
Inside the Butterfly House, the atmosphere suddenly became tense and busy, and a silent battle was being waged here.
The wounded were carefully placed on beds. Their faces were pale and their bodies were wrapped in bandages, revealing an indescribable fatigue and pain.
Medical staff quickly and orderly surrounded them and conducted preliminary examinations and treatments.
Although the Butterfly House is equipped with fairly modern medical resources, the level of medical care is still limited in this era.
Especially in the absence of penicillin, the risk of wound infection is extremely high, and once infected, the consequences will be disastrous.
Therefore, everyone was on high alert and dared not slack off in the slightest.
The medical staff have clear division of labor. Some are responsible for cleaning the wound, some are responsible for bandaging and fixing, and some are responsible for dispensing medicine.
Fortunately, Lin Yi was well prepared and he brought a lot of antibiotics into this derivative world.
In this era, bacteria have not yet developed tolerance to antibiotics, so although the amount of antibiotics Lin Yi brought is not large, it is enough to provide effective treatment for everyone.
Inside the ward, Lin Yi was sitting in front of the bed, peeling an apple for Butterfly Shinobu.
Shinobu Kocho lay quietly on the bed, her face slightly pale. She took out a brass key from her chest and handed it to Lin Yi: "Mr. Lin, this is the key to the laboratory. I may not need it in the future, so I'll give it to you."
Lin Yi took the key, looked at Shinobu Kocho's tired face, nodded, and said, "Take good care of your injuries, and leave the rest to me."
[You get the 'Laboratory Key' and the right to use the warehouse. ]
After killing Douma to avenge her sister, some subtle changes seemed to have taken place in Shinobu Kocho.
In her eyes, life, death and hatred are all like passing clouds, fleeting.
Kanao stood beside the bed, gently and carefully changing the bandage on Shinobu Kocho's head.
As the bloody bandage was slowly removed, Shinobu Kocho's hollow left eye was revealed, and Kanao's movements became more cautious.
When changing the medicine, Lin Yi handed Shinobu Kocho an exquisite little box.
Shinobu Kocho took the box in confusion, and after opening it, a lifelike artificial eye came into view.
This prosthetic eye is completely different from any she has seen before. Whether in terms of color, texture or gloss, it is almost indistinguishable from the real thing.
Lin Yi joked: "Appearance is very important for girls, be careful or no one will want you when you get married."
After leaving the ward, Lin Yi came to the door of the laboratory.
As the key turned, there was a slight sound and the door opened.
A strong smell of medicinal herbs immediately entered Lin Yi's nose. This was a unique smell produced by the mixture of various herbs and chemical reagents.
Although it was a bit pungent, Lin Yi felt inexplicably intimate and familiar.
Walking into the laboratory, Lin Yi's eyes suddenly lit up.
Various high-precision instruments are placed here, ranging from microscopes to measuring instruments, from reagent bottles to culture dishes.
Looking at these instruments, Lin Yi couldn't help but sigh at the powerful purchasing channels of Shinobu Kocho.
You know, in this day and age, it's not easy to get these high-precision instruments, let alone gather them all in one laboratory.
