Chapter 12 I Caught You
Chapter 12 I Caught You
Except for that time when he killed a ghost, Teruo Aoki had never revealed his magical powers in front of others, and he would not take the initiative to look for ghosts in the days that followed.
What went wrong? Did he discover himself?
Wait, he created ghosts, so can he control them at will? How can he control them? And how can he know when ghosts are doing something bad to him?
Share?! Yes, that's right. If he can share vision and thoughts with other ghosts, then this would make sense.
In this way, as long as we find him and catch him, we can kill all the ghosts at once.
However, precisely because they have lived together for so long, Teruo Aoki is the person who knows Muzan best besides himself.
In essence, he is actually a person who is very afraid of death. Now that he has finally escaped the torture of illness and become immortal, it is not easy for him to find Muzan.
The road to finding peace is long and arduous.
……
"Gu Yi, you must listen to your elders and train well. I have something important to do, so I'll leave first." Aoki Teruo looked tired. He had been looking for Muzan during the day and night, but he was still very gentle and attentive to Gu Yi.
"Okay, Gu Yi will definitely be obedient."
"Gu Yi, come here quickly! It's time for training." A figure in the distance waved to Gu Yi.
Gu Yi shouted loudly: "Here it comes!"
"Brother God, I'm going first. Don't worry about me." Seeing Aoki Teruo nodded, Gu Yi hurriedly ran towards the figure.
"Have you been waiting for a long time? I can smell you from far away."
"You have a pretty good nose, kid. I really envy you."
"hey-hey……"
You have adapted well here, so should I leave? Is it right or wrong to leave it here?
However, it is not a good idea to leave without saying goodbye.
However, now I have to manage the food, clothing and daily expenses of the servants of the Ubuyashiki family! I didn't think so before, but now I am just delaying him from finding Muzan.
"Master Aoki, the manager is looking for you..."
While walking on the road, a servant saw Teruo Aoki, greeted him and told him some things.
"Okay, go ahead and do your work, I'll be there later." Teruo Aoki smiled faintly and nodded.
You see, he knows that he has to handle everything by himself and there is always something to do every day.
Anyway, his salary for the next few months is gone. If he stays here any longer, he will never be able to find Muzan. So he decided to leave.
As for what would happen to the Ubuyashiki family without him, Aoki Teruo said that without him, it was not impossible to move around in such a big mansion.
He came into the room, packed his things, put a letter to Gu Yi on the table, and left without mercy.
He drove invisibly all the way and walked out of the mansion gate with a swagger.
Where should we go next? As of now, the area where the demons are active is still concentrated in Heian-kyo.
Therefore, Muzan must still be here. He plans to rent a place far away from Ubuyashiki's house and then slowly gather information later.
"One hundred coins a season? Okay, I'll give you the money. Rent for a season first."
After negotiating the price with the owner of the house, Teruo Aoki paid the money readily.
He is now a small wealthy man and has saved at least dozens of copper coins over the years, so he doesn't need this much.
Under the owner's respectful gaze, Teruo Aoki observed the house.
A small courtyard, the house is built with natural materials, and the wood texture is clearly visible.
"Okay, I'm satisfied. Take the money and leave." Teruo Aoki waved his hand and sent the owner of the house away.
"Yes, yes, as long as you are satisfied."
I finally rented out this house in a remote location, yay!
The homeowner clenched his fist and placed it behind his chin, looking very happy. After hearing what Teruo Aoki said, he left tactfully.
After entering the courtyard, Teruo Aoki first locked the door before stepping into the house.
He was very satisfied with the house. Although it was a little far from the town and there were not many people around, the environment of the house was impeccable.
After putting his things away, he went out.
I asked around in wine houses, tea houses, shrines, etc., but didn't get any useful information.
Oh, what should I do? How can I find him?
Teruo Aoki sat in the room thinking for a long time, and suddenly an idea flashed in his mind.
If I were to say what unique abilities I have, isn’t the most useful one right now the eyes of insight that can see through life?
Got it! Just do this and that, and you can create a new spell.
Teruo Aoki worked for a long time and was very satisfied with the new spell he created.
"From now on, you will be called Muzan Compass!"
When using this spell, an arrow appeared in front of Teruoki Aoki's eyes that only he could see. This arrow could guide him to find the person with the strongest vitality in this world.
If we were to ask who has the strongest vitality in this world right now, it would definitely be Muzan Kibutsuji! So the name fits the description.
Hidden, fast, and light, I drive—
Following the arrow all the way, we passed through alley after alley, almost crossing half of the city, before the arrow stopped in front of a remote house.
It is daytime and the weather is sunny.
Aoki Teruo showed a determined smile and climbed over the courtyard wall quietly and lightly.
"You're here? Come in, I've spotted you."
After observing for a while outside the house, before Teruo Aoki could react, a familiar voice that he had heard for countless years came from inside the house.
Is it the smell again?
When old acquaintances meet, it feels like a long time since they last met... Well, the two of them looked at each other quietly.
Finally, it was Aoki Teruo who spoke first, "Now, should I call you Muzan, Master?"
Wuzan smiled softly, closed his eyes and said: "You can still call me Yueyan. I allow you to call me that, and only you can call me that."
"I've been waiting for you to come over. I didn't expect you to come so quickly."
“…Tsukihiko, why are you doing this? Just kill all those ghosts. There are so many ghosts that they have become a disaster.” Aoki Teruo looked at Muzan angrily. He didn’t want ghosts to become a natural disaster, and he didn’t want ordinary people to regard ghosts as a natural disaster.
"Huh? We haven't seen each other for so long, is that what you came to say?"
"Those untouchables, it's their honor to be eaten by me!"
Muzan was also angry. He couldn't stand hearing others say that to him, even if that person was Aoki Teruki.
As he spoke, he revealed the nine bone whips on his back and assumed an attacking posture.
Teruo Aoki is not afraid of him. It is daytime now and ghosts are most afraid of sunlight.
So, Aoki Teruo said to Muzan who was about to attack: "Are you sure you want to fight? You also know that I am not an ordinary person, right?"
"Let's not talk about whether you can beat me or not. It's daytime now, so you are naturally at a disadvantage."
After hearing this, Muzan calmed down and retracted the bone whip.
If you get into a fight now and accidentally punch through the roof, the sun will come in and you'll be doomed.
Aoki Teruo stepped forward, pinned Muzan under him, and spoke harshly while looking at his face.
The power of rules? The hand of life? Withering and flourishing
A hand was raised high, threatening Wuzan.
"Hurry up and use your abilities to kill those ghosts outside!"
Before Muzan could react, he was pinned under Aoki Teruoki. He struggled subconsciously, and then a blush appeared on his pale and handsome face, which was very obvious.
It's shameful.
No one has ever dared to be so rude to him!
"You...get up right now!"
"…Let your subordinates—"
Aoki Teruo increased his strength, indicating that he would not get up unless he agreed, and increased the strength of his hands.
"Stop! I promise you, get up soon." Muzan's face turned red, and he felt the vitality in his body slowly disappearing. He gritted his teeth and agreed to Aoki Teruo's request.
Agree? What a joke! At most he ordered the ghosts to hide and not eat people.
After Aoki Teruo got up, he quickly contacted the ghosts in Heian-kyo and told them not to come out tonight.
Why is he blushing? What happened? It's so strange...
"I'm the King of Ghosts, I don't bother to lie." He even felt a little guilty after saying this.
Muzan raised his head slightly to look into his eyes, measured his height, and found that he was actually half a head shorter than this guy.
He decided to study how to change his body shape later.
