Chat group, people are in Shadow Reality, they just defeated Shadow

But regardless of which, their life and death would ultimately be controlled by Kibutsuji Muzan, except for Tamayo, who betrayed him years ago, and Yushiro, who was transformed by Tamayo.

The latter's betrayal certainly made Kibutsuji Muzan feel angry.

But compared to this time, their betrayal was nothing.

"My control over the demons has decreased."

Yes, Muzan felt it, his control over the demons was weakening.

It was as if another force was taking away some of his authority, and this plunder was still increasing.

"Damn it!"

"Damn it! Damn it!"

The thought that the demons might escape his control sent a chill down Muzan's spine. His face became contorted, and veins spread across his face.

"Who is it?!"

"Who exactly is it!!"

Muzan was now very afraid, afraid of the demons' betrayal, and even more afraid of being replaced by someone.

In fact, not only Muzan, but the more powerful demons could clearly feel this change.

And the clearest of them were naturally the Upper Moons and Lower Moons of the Twelve Kizuki.

"Nakime!"

Kibutsuji Muzan made a decision in an instant: "Immediately close the Infinity Castle. No one is allowed to enter without my order!"

"......"

Nakime hugged her biwa and meticulously carried out Kibutsuji Muzan's mission.

Soon, the extradimensional space where the Infinity Castle was located entered a state of complete closure.

To prevent accidents, Kibutsuji Muzan also used his authority to invade Nakime's brain and completely control her.

In this way, even if the other party could use some method to seize his control over the demons, they would not be able to interfere with Nakime.

"Who exactly is it?"

Having lived for a thousand years, except for almost being killed by Tsugikuni Yoriichi in the beginning, Kibutsuji Muzan had never been so afraid as he was at this moment.

It was also at this time that Kibutsuji Muzan began to regret his plan to create demons.

He had thought about the possibility of demons betraying him back then.

He didn't expect it to really happen!

Just like that, after a period of self-inflicted attrition, Muzan began to watch the situation of the demons under his command from Nakime's perspective, focusing on investigating the Twelve Kizuki.

After confirming that the Twelve Kizuki had not betrayed him and that he still had absolute control over them, Muzan then had Nakime teleport them all to the Infinity Castle.

As for what Muzan was going to do next...

He wanted to ensure the loyalty of these demons to him, and then concentrate his power to eliminate the damn rebel who might threaten his position!

Fujikasane Mountain.

Hakuro led Nezuko up the steps leading to the shrine, with the fragrance of wisteria flowers wafting from both sides.

If it were other demons, they would probably hate this smell.

However, Nezuko had completely evolved. She did not have the weaknesses of wisteria flowers and sunlight. Instead, like ordinary humans, she liked this large sea of wisteria flowers very much.

"How is your control over the demon blood?"

"I'm sorry, Lord Hakuro."

Muzan could sense someone seizing power, and Nezuko could naturally feel it too: "I can now control the demons on this mountain, and even directly activate the curse in their bodies, causing them to die."

"But I can't do more than that for the time being."

Nezuko's control would gradually increase, eventually overwhelming Kibutsuji Muzan.

And this process would take a very long time, at least several decades before Kibutsuji Muzan could be completely emptied.

Unfortunately, Hakuro didn't have that kind of time.

"However, if a demon stands in front of me, no matter who he is, I can control him."

Nezuko's control was stronger the closer the distance.

Even Kokushibo, the highest-ranking Upper Moon of the Twelve Kizuki, could not escape this control.

"That will do."

Hakuro's Black King Sanctuary was gradually covering Japan.

Every time he arrived at a place, the magic would extend outwards, exploring the space there and searching for the existence of the Infinity Castle.

In addition, Hakuro was also confirming the existence of every demon in this world.

"By the way."

Hakuro stopped, basking in the sunlight, and turned around to say: "Nezuko, I remember there should be demons abroad too, right?"

"There are indeed some demons who have strayed outside of Japan."

"Can you directly curse and kill them?"

"......"

Nezuko was stunned for a moment. She hesitated, not knowing whether she should agree.

Although the girl was in charge of violence and war, she herself was very kind and could not bear to see too much death.

Hakuro didn't blame her for this.

The Seven Kings were his dependents, and at the same time, they were responsible for giving advice to the Black King.

Therefore, it was very normal to have different views.

Hakuro had never regarded Nezuko, Yukihime, and the others as subordinates, but as younger sisters.

Moreover, it was normal for Nezuko to hesitate.

If an innocent and kind little girl didn't care about life just because she had gained power, Hakuro would have to worry about Nezuko's psychology instead.

After all, the Red King was the most unstable King, and only by maintaining a normal heart could one use this power well.

Now it seemed that Nezuko was still very qualified.

"Lord Hakuro."

"Just call me Hakuro-nii, like Tanjiro."

Hakuro liked polite children, but he wanted Nezuko to be closer to him.

"Hakuro-nii."

Nezuko said: "Can you also give them a chance?"

She didn't have good intentions towards demons.

Like Tanjiro, Nezuko wouldn't hesitate at all when it was time to strike.

The Kamado family was indeed kind, but not saintly.

But this time, Nezuko planned to advise him.

Even if Hakuro was displeased, Nezuko still hoped that the lord she had chosen to follow could have a little more mercy.

"Don't be so nervous, Nezuko."

Hakuro was still very tolerant of his own people, and he didn't hate children with their own opinions.

What's more, Nezuko was right.

There were many kinds of Blood Demon Arts. Who could guarantee that the demons who had never appeared in the original work didn't have abilities that would impress Hakuro?

"Originally, I was only preparing to investigate Japan."

"But now..."

Hakuro said: "Since you requested it so much, I will give the demons that exist abroad a chance."

Hakuro didn't have the idea of killing all the demons, but now he could only use mid-seven-figure power.

Investigating every inch of Japan was a completely different workload than investigating the entire world.

Therefore, Hakuro asked Nezuko to kill the demons that might exist outside of Japan.

The rest were the ones he needed to examine carefully to see if they could be recruited as jailers.

"I'm sorry, Hakuro-nii, I've caused you trouble."

Nezuko understood that her request would bring more burden to Hakuro.

She lowered her head, feeling very guilty for her ignorance.

Hakuro had helped her so much, the kindness was so great that it could not be repaid at all.

However, Nezuko had failed to complete Hakuro's first order properly.

"Pa!"

Hakuro flicked the girl's forehead in annoyance.

"Awoo!"

The next moment, Nezuko covered her forehead and looked at Hakuro timidly.

"What are you thinking about?"

Hakuro: "I'm not Muzan, that scumbag boss. If you don't want to do it, then say it out loud."

"Forcing you to do things you don't want to do."

Hakuro didn't like such people, and he didn't bother to do so: "Where did this dictator come from?!"

Hakuro naturally liked it when Nezuko obediently listened.

But if she just became an echo, what was the difference from having a doll standing next to him?

"What's more, it's just a matter of staying two more days. There's no trouble or not."

Hakuro didn't care about this. Anyway, investigating the demons would take time.

"Hakuro-nii, I should be able to summon them back to Japan."

Realizing her mistake, Nezuko quickly thought of a way to reduce Hakuro's workload: "Although I can't directly control them, I can use Kibutsuji Muzan's authority to give orders to the demons abroad."

This was the same principle as Hakuro asking Nezuko to curse and kill the demons.

The curse and kill was because the demons were cursed by Kibutsuji Muzan when they were born, similar to a flesh and blood collapse program.

Starting this program was not difficult for Nezuko, and it was not related to distance.

By the same logic, Nezuko only needed to do a little trick to impersonate Kibutsuji Muzan.

Muzan: No, I've become a substitute!

"Okay, Hakuro-nii."

Nezuko followed the back door left by Kibutsuji Muzan on the bloodline and sent a notice to all the demons abroad, asking them to return to Japan within three days.

Although the foreign demons were not mentioned in the original anime.

Considering that the demons had a certain degree of autonomy, it was not impossible for them to run to other countries.

Especially in the situation where he could not find the Blue Spider Lily, Muzan had also transformed Nanban people and sent them to the mainland and Southeast Asia to search.

"Hakuro-nii?"

Misaka Mikoto saw Hakuro come back and hurried forward to greet him.

However, she soon noticed Nezuko, who came with Hakuro.

"You are, Tanjiro's sister?"

Nezuko took off the bamboo muzzle in her mouth, and Misaka Mikoto didn't recognize her for a while.
