Reincarnation as Lower Rank Five in Demon Slayer

Chapter 139 History Repeats Itself, and the Imminent Devastating News

Under the bright moonlight, Li Lei sat on a giant white bird with a wingspan of ten meters, soaring freely in the sky and looking down at the earth, feeling extremely happy.

As expected of Li Lei's pet, it is fully functional. When there are enemies, it is a white fighter jet; when there are no enemies, it is his personal transport aircraft.

Since Xiao Wu Gui transformed into his own unique form, Li Lei no longer needs to grow wings and fly alone. Now, he rides a crow, singing songs, creating legends throughout the island nation.

They cause trouble and create chaos in the island nation at any time and in any place, if they have the intention. If they don't, they just wander around, setting fire to a sanctuary one day and dropping bombs on a military camp the next.

For more than ten months, while absorbing knowledge all over the island nation, Li Lei would occasionally find some amusement to pass the time.

"Master, where are we going now?" Little Wu beneath him asked Li Lei.

"Where to? Let me think."

The biological and medical knowledge gleaned using the Memory-Swapping Demon Eye is sufficient. Any further searches would be largely the same; the sacred toilet was recently burned down, and they should have repaired it in two months.

(??ヮ??)?

Thinking of the sacred toilets of the island nation, Li Lei smiled knowingly, already thinking of a good place to go next.

"Xiao Wu, let's go! Let's go to Chiyoda Ward in the capital and have some fun at the Shinpo (a type of restroom). I've missed it after two months."

Thinking it through, Li Lei gave Xiao Wu the order to prepare a proper congratulations on the construction of the sacred toilet, and if necessary, he could send a salute as a blessing.

"Yes, Master."

Upon receiving Li Lei's instructions, Xiao Wu immediately accelerated and rushed towards the capital.

……

In the darkness, above the sacred toilet in Yasukuni, Li Lei stood on Xiao Wu's back, looking down at the lit toilet with a cold smile on his face.

"Wow! It was repaired quickly. It's been completely renovated in just two months. They really know how to spend money."

"In that case, as a visitor at night, I should offer my blessings," Li Lei muttered to himself.

"Xiao Wu, send some fireworks and firecrackers to the sanctuary down there. Don't let them think we're impolite," Li Lei said to Xiao Wu beneath him.

"Yes, Master!"

Upon hearing Li Lei's command, Xiao Wu scattered countless white feathers all over its body, which then drifted towards the shrine.

The arrival of the feathers filled the people at the shrine with a sense of wonder, who considered it an auspicious sign from heaven and a great omen of joy.

The monks at the sacred toilet were overjoyed, dancing and kneeling before it in gratitude for the auspicious blessings bestowed upon them.

Seeing that all the feathers had fallen to the ground, Li Lei, who was in the sky, felt that it was about time, so he raised his right hand and snapped his fingers.

"Snapped--"

All the feathers in the sanctuary simultaneously lit up with a faint light, as if they had received a command.

"This is……"

Those who saw the feathers glowing were astonished and found it magical, but little did they know that death had already arrived.

bang bang,

The sanctuary was instantly reduced to ashes, accompanied by a burst of intense light emanating from it in all directions.

The people of the capital immediately witnessed this miracle, a miracle known as the explosion. A miracle that occurred at the Yasukuni Shrine. It terrified countless people in the island nation.

Their pillar of support exploded; it just collapsed with a bang. There had just been a fire, and it hadn't even been repaired for two months. How could it suddenly be gone? Did all their previous efforts in repairing it go to waste?

Li Lei said the repairs weren't in vain; at least he had a lot of fun and enjoyed the explosions, and he expressed his gratitude.

Remember to let him know when the toilet is built. Li Lei said he could test its sturdiness for free, without charging a penny.

Looking at the Yasukuni Shrine, now reduced to fragments and burning, Li Lei was in high spirits and celebrated with a cup of diluted blood.

"This trip was worthwhile, tonight was really great!" Li Lei said happily.

"Master, the shrine has been destroyed. What's next?"

Xiao Hei asked Li Lei.

"Next, of course, is to go back to Mount Natagumo."

Li Lei said happily.

"Oh—I understand, Master."

Upon receiving Li Lei's reply, the white-clad Xiao Wu happily set off towards the direction of Spider Mountain.

He'd been away for so long, and he was starting to miss Xiao Hei. He wondered how Xiao Hei was doing.

……

A dark shadow flew across the night sky, traversing mountains and lakes, constantly moving in a fixed direction.

Li Lei sat on Xiao Wu's back, closing his eyes to rest and contemplate his future actions. In a few years, the protagonist Tanjiro would appear, and he needed to prepare to obtain Hinokami Kagura (a flawed version of the Sun Breathing Technique) from Tanjiro.

As the breathing method closest to the sun, it is very likely that it contains a way to overcome the sun's rays. He must obtain it. Even if it cannot ultimately overcome the sun, it can certainly greatly reduce the sun's harm to him.

Just as Li Lei was planning for the future, a message suddenly entered his mind.

"Oh no, something's happened to Shinobu Kocho and Kanae."

After reading the information from the Butterfly Sisters, Li Lei hurriedly spread his wings, jumped off the little crow, and flew quickly towards the Butterfly Ninja's house.

Li Lei was incredibly fast, leaving only a white dot in Xiao Wu's eyes in an instant.

"Master, what happened? Why are you flying so fast? Wait for me!"

Seeing Li Lei flying away rapidly, Xiao Wu immediately followed suit, but Li Lei's speed was too fast, and Xiao Wu disappeared from sight.

Seeing his master disappear, Xiao Wu was at a loss for what to do, so he could only return to Tianzhushan.

At that moment, Li Lei's voice rang in Xiao Wu's mind.

"Xiao Wu, you go back to Natian Mountain first. I have some urgent business to attend to. I won't be going back to Natian Mountain for now."

"Yes, Master, I understand," Xiao Wu replied to Li Lei.

As soon as Xiao Wu finished speaking, Li Lei immediately severed the mental connection.

"Shinobu Kocho, Kanae, please make sure nothing happens to you."

Li Lei, flying at high speed through the night sky, said anxiously.

……

At Shinobu and Kanae's house, several black shadow wolves relentlessly attacked them.

Behind Shinobu and Kanae are their injured father and slightly frightened mother.

The two sisters fought relentlessly, wielding the modified Sun Blade given to them by Li Lei, and repelling the attacking Shadow Wolves.

Because the two sisters learned the breathing techniques in advance and had great talent, their strength was much stronger than that of ordinary Demon Slayer Corps swordsmen, roughly equivalent to the C to B level of Demon Slayer Corps swordsmen.

The elder sister, Kanae, has even reached Rank B strength. However, their opponent is Pero, who has just been promoted to Lower Moon Two of the Twelve Demon Moons.

"Hahaha, you swordsmen who know breathing techniques deserve to die. Let's see how long you can last under my Shadow Wolf attack."

Wearing a military uniform and cap, with white gloves and a revolver in hand, Perlman stood at a distance, laughing as he spoke.

"Xiao Ren and Xiao Hui, run away quickly! Don't worry about us. You can't beat this monster."

The father, holding Shinobu's mother, said to the two sisters, hoping that they could escape and survive.

"Dad, I won't leave. I won't let anything happen to you and Mom," Shinobu Kocho cried out.

"Mom and Dad, like Shinobu, I'm not leaving either," said Kanae Kocho with a smile on her sweaty, disheveled face. Her attitude was as firm as Shinobu's.

"Shinobu, Megumi, you..."

The sisters' father was at a loss for words.

"That's interesting. You're so kind. Your family relationship is so interesting. You're all thinking about each other."

"I wonder what kind of ugly expression you'll make when I'm about to eat you all, hehehehe."

Looking at the deeply affectionate Shinobu Kocho family, Lower Moon Two, Pegasus, revealed a twisted smile.
